With cloudy weather, winds at a strong 25-30 knots and the temperature really low, organizers were facing the worst case scenario, just one day before the race, which was postponing or even canceling the race. On race day, 167 paddlers were given the go-ahead to take part in a challenging day on the water for the 5th annual Corinth Canal SUP Crossing.
On Sunday November 1st 2015, the naval traffic of the Corinth canal will be stopped, for 150 and more Stand Up Paddlers to compete at the "straightest race" of the world, the Corinth Canal SUP Crossing.
The most amazing race of the year took place on October 19th at Isthmus, the famous historic canal of Corinth, Greece.
