Canoe Poling Nationals
 
 
 
This year the American Canoe Association Sanctioned Canoe Poling National Championship Races will be held near Fredericksburg, VA on the Rappahannock River.
 
See the other page tabs for all the information.
 
 
There are two types of races, Wildwater and Slalom with races classes from intermediate to expert (open) and masters for some of us older folks.  The Masters class is for age 40 and over.  It has an age bonus of 1% time reduction for every year over 50.  There will also be Women only races.
 
The races are timed events, with the fastest time including penalty points being the winner.  Wildwater races are straight upstream and downstream runs.  Slalom races include turns and backwards maneuvers dictated by colored buoys.  All races will be managed according to the National Canoe Poling Bylaws.
