From the Organizer
This late-season event attracts casual and elite canoe, kayak, SUP, and surf-ski paddlers. Enjoy the first touch of fall with a cheerful end of season paddling event!
The canal course follows the lush, gently flowing Seneca-Cayuga canal, which is about 40 yards wide. Experienced paddlers may opt for a challenging open water course on Seneca Lake instead of the canal course.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Paddle sports cover kayak, canoe, SUP, and outrigger racing on rivers, lakes, and open ocean — from short sprints to marathon distances, split by craft. The water and the weather are as much a part of the race as the field.
It's a full-body, low-impact way to race, where reading the water and a smooth, repeatable stroke matter as much as raw power.
