Kayak

powered by snp_1

The race course itself starts with a short sprint to the kayak storage area, where the competitor takes a kayak and enters the quiet water. There are two buoys in the quiet water part of the course, around which you have to turn around. Crossing the buoys is in any order. After passing the buoys, the competitor continues to the wild water part of the course. The decision whether to take the right channel "Orava" or the left channel "Váh" will be announced at the Riders Meeting.

In this part there will be 10 inflatable gates and 2 Liptov Ride logos, which riders must touch. The finish line will be located at the confluence of the left and right canal, which the competitor must finish.

Boats will be measured, so make sure your kayak is permitted.

Each competitor can only start for one team.

Penalties

We have four partners through whom you can arrange both the kayak rental and the day you can pick up and drop off your kayak: BA Paddling Centre, Adventurio, Kamikse and Element Brno.
