Wildwater Racing
Also known as wacky racing, wildwater canoeing and down river racing!
They all refer to the same thing: Going down a river on timed runs in as fast a possible time as you can, without stopping!
A Sprint race has two short runs where the best time counts. The Classic race is a single run, of a longer distance – usually 10-15 minutes in length.
Racing
Nottingham Kayak Club members include several current and past GB team members. Given the very close links to marathon and sprint racing a typical race training group from Intermediate level upwards at the club on any day will include paddlers from all three disciplines.
