ICF canoe marathon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships)
ICF canoe marathon is an International Canoe Federation governed sport in which athletes compete over long distances. The race usually starts and ends at the same place, and includes portages. Race categories vary by the number of athletes in the boat, the length of the course, and whether the boat is a canoe or Kayak. In a kayak, the paddler is seated in the direction of travel, and uses a double-bladed paddle. In a canoe the paddler kneels on one knee with the other leg forward and foot flat on the floor inside the boat, and paddles a single-bladed paddle on one side only.[1] The World Championships were held every two years from 1988, becoming annual in 1998.
