2025 Slalom & Kayak Cross Age Group Nationals

Description

The Nantahala Racing Club is excited to partner with the American Canoe Association (ACA) and Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) to host the 2025 Canoe Slalom Age Group National Championships!

Racers will take two canoe slalom runs on Saturday, followed by the Kayak Cross Individual and head-to-head races on Sunday. The 18-22-gate slalom race and the Kayak Cross event will take place at the lower Bridge Gates. Participants should be comfortable on class II whitewater and have a solid roll. Awards will go to the top three U14s, U16s, U18s, and Masters in each class (takes at least three boats to make a class). The race entry fee is $50 for the weekend and includes an event T-shirt.

Whether you want participate or you just want to enjoy watching the competition, we look forward to seeing you on the river!
