Canadian Marathon Nationals

After three successful years in Ontario the Nationals will be hosted in Saskatchewan a province that produces some of the best Marathon paddlers in the world.

In 2014, paddling participants made 215.8 million annual outings — in kayaks, rafts, canoes and stand up paddle boards. Paddlers made an average of 7 outings each, with kayakers making the most outings and stand up paddlers making the least.

Beyond paddling, kayakers, rafters, canoers and stand up paddlers enjoy many of the same “crossover” activities. As seen in past years, fitness walking is the most popular activity, with more than half of paddlers also walking.
