What is Sprint Canoe / Kayak

​

Flat water sprint racing is a contest of speed, strength, and endurance in which athletes compete head-to-head on calm bodies of water. Paddlers train and compete in canoes and/or kayaks as singles, in pairs, or in fours over a variety of distances. Paddlers race in lanes separated by markers over 200m, 500m, 1000m, and longer distances on straight, one-way courses.
