When did you Join FCC?

There aren’t too many paddlers that have successfully made the jump from elite slalom paddler to elite marathoner but Fairfield’s Chris Runting is one. A former top flight K1 slalom paddler, Chris has transferred the long and silky smooth paddle stroke that made him a formidable slalom racer and big water paddler to the very different world of K1 marathon racing.

My first boat was… home made using timber and chipboard when I was about ten years old. I presented the finished craft to my parents and argued a case for a trip down the local creek. It was never commissioned.

I learnt to paddle...canoes in the first year of a degree in Outdoor Education in Bendigo (1992).
