Marathon Canoe

Traditional marathon boats bear some resemblance to K1 sprint kayaks, but the races are long distance and run over all kinds of water, on flatwater or through rapids and even over small dam drops. In most venues races are open to a variety of boat types including surfskis. And the races often include portages.
