2012 Slalom Racing Schedule

Lokken trials

At this early date, only a few race dates are chosen. I have left some annual events on the calendar even though their dates are not yet available; note that they may not be placed under the correct month.

Also, as always, please remember that very high or low water, or other circumstances, can change or cancel races, so check with organizers.

Note that the ICF-approved name for what we in the US call whitewater canoe and kayak slalom is "Canoe Slalom"; any "Canoe Slalom" event, therefore, includes both kayak and decked canoe classes.

Corrections, additions, and amendments encouraged, to: webster<insert proper "at" symbol here>whitewaterslalom.us
