    Rower Mahe Drysdale will line up on the Whanganui River this morning for what may be his last Billy Webb Challenge


    The five-kilometre race is held annually to commemorate Webb's single sculling world champion title defence in 1908.

    The 42-year-old says he's raced every year except one, since the event started in 2008.



    The race starts at 11.15am.
