The canoe and kayak competition at the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games will feature non-stop action at Woodlawn Regional Park’s Boundary Dam from July 28 to 30.
“We have three full days of racing,” said Canoe Kayak Saskatchewan executive director Kia Schollar. “Our athletes are going to compete in single and two-person kayak and canoe events then there are also some larger team events, which we call the relay. So, there is lots of opportunity for all of those athletes that will be coming to Estevan.”
The nine district teams, which will include eight male and eight female competitors, will begin each day with heat races for the one- and two-person kayak 200-metre, 1,000m and 4,000m meets, the two-athlete canoe 200m, 1,000m and 4,000m races and the four-person 200m relay race.
