Calendar

For the 2018 season we are restructuring the ranking race series. We will run 2 series in parallel along with our National Championships.

1. Ribadesella National Ranking Series – Comprising of 8 flatwater races with the best 5 counting towards a paddlers ranking. Club points from these races will count for the Ribadesella trophy.
2. Descent Racing Ranking Series – Comprising of 4 river races with the best 3 counting towards a paddlers ranking. Club points from these races do not count towards the Ribadesella trophy.

Also new to this year we have a double header marathon race weekend in Enniskillen and Belturbet in June. Along with our marathon double header we have the Cork race paired the same weekend as the Ocean to City race & the City of the Tribes race is paired with the Galway Bay sea kayak race
