2013 Slalom Racing Schedule

And Other Racing Calendars

Just beginning the 2013 calendar, so there are still many question marks; these indicate there was an event last year, but have not been confirmed for this year. As always, even when the inclusion of dates indicate the events are scheduled for this year, 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
