Western Australia’s Avon Descent challenges competitors to a two day time trial through the Avon and Swan Rivers. Racers take on the 124 grueling kilometers in a small, flat bottom power boat with no rules, no officials, no checkpoints, and very few spectators.
The Act-Belong-Commit Avon Descent is Western Australia’s own unique sporting event that attracts competitors and spectators from throughout Australia and overseas. Competitors challenge the Avon and Swan rivers in a variety of paddle and power craft in an exciting two-day time trial.
The Act-Belong-Commit Avon Descent was first held in 1973 with just 49 competitors, no rules, no officials, no checkpoints and very few spectators. In the years since, over 25,000 people have competed in the Act-Belong-Commit Avon Descent, from novices and families, to World and Olympic Champions.
