canoe races

Watercraft speed contests

Canoe races are competitive events where paddlers race canoes over a set course, typically on lakes, rivers, or specially designed courses.

Events range from Olympic flatwater sprints to grueling marathon races covering dozens of miles.

The annual canoe races draw competitors from across the region.
