We have a couple of clubs in the region that organise and compete in various canoe racing disciplines, whether Sprint, Marathon or White Water Racing. You can find details of some of the events, training and introductory sessions here. It's worth looking at the club pages and contacting them if you are interested in racing events.

Upcoming events
Duddon are running some race training days in July - the first 4 Saturdays from 2.00pm at their base on Barrow Docks and would welcome interest from 7 to 14 year old members of other Cumbria Clubs.
These are aimed at juniors under 14 using our fleet of Lightning and Espada junior race kayaks. (+ our junior K4 race boats)
No prior experience of race boats is needed but you will need to be confident in general purpose kayaks.
Juniors should be prepared for a fun learning experience developing forward paddling skills using regular and/or wing race paddles, using rudders to steer, use of our ergo paddling machines, basic race tactics and taking part in time trials and 2km race practice.
register your interest by Friday 18th of June with me at
johnsherwen@hotmail.com
Best if you can come to all the sessions but if not just let me know which you can attend.
