Hydro Tasmania performed the water release from Trevallyn Dam on Sunday for the event, which began at 1pm.
Tamar Canoe Club's Geoff Macqueen said the day went very well, despite a lower turnout from participants than in previous events.
He said a few people had travelled down from interstate to take part in Paddle Week but decided to give the Cataract Gorge Extreme Race a miss after seeing how complex the race was, leaving only Tasmanians competing on the day.
