The most fascinating race in Greece for 2016, the Corinth Canal Paddle Crossing on October 30th, was a huge blast. This year aside from the 163 SUPs that crossed the Canal for the 6th Hellenic SUP CUP, organizers in cooperation with Hellenic Canoe-Kayak & SUP federation, invited athletes from all sports that H.C-K.F. represents (canoe, kayak, surf-ski, SUP) to join and the outcome was a BIG success.
The most fascinating race of the year, the Corinth Canal Paddle Crossing is about to start. On Sunday, October 30th 2016, the naval traffic of the canal will be stopped for over 200 Stand Up Paddlers, Canoers and Kayakers to compete at the "straightest race" of the world.
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.
The most amazing race of the year took place on October 19th at Isthmus, the famous historic canal of Corinth, Greece.
