The information on these pages was gathered from a number
of sources including contributions from individuals who have participated
in marathon canoe races. Do
not assume that reading these few pages will in any way substitute for
experience, training and preparation. Talk with others about their
experiences.
Remember, marathon canoe racing is both mentally
and physically strenuous. See your doctor before planning to participate.
You must prepare yourself, your boat, your Captain and colleagues; study
the course.
These pages are designed as a general guide only. What is often
suggested by others is not necessarily the best, or even the safest alternative
for YOU. Only you can take the responsability of judging your own physical
capabilities and skill level. Marathon canoe races are grueling, and often
dangerous, sports. Please think, plan and act responsibly.
