Marathon canoe racing on the grand scale of the Triple Crown of Canoe Racing events is an action-packed, spectator favorite. The competitors maintain a torrid pace of 50 to 90+ paddle strokes per minute amid pitched competition, frenzied running portages, river obstructions, and spills, which all take their toll on the contestants. These world-class marathon canoe racing events generate national and international media interest and exposure. Triple Crown news reports have been carried worldwide by cable and satellite TV sports and news services. National print media have recognized the unique interest and appeal of these marathon canoe racing spectacles.
