Wild Water Racing is all about getting a canoe or kayak down a rough, white water river in the shortest possible time.

It is an exciting endurance sport with two types of races; Classic and Sprint.

Classic races are around 3 to 5 miles and take 10-20 minutes. Sprint races are much shorter and around 1-2 minutes. Competitors start at minute intervals and the winner is the person with the shortest elapsed time.
