Triple Crown of Canoe Racing

The Triple Crown of Canoe Racing (French: La Triple Couronne de Canots Long Parcours) is a canoe marathon series consisting of:

  • The General Clinton Canoe Regatta: staged Memorial Day on New York's Susquehanna River, a one-day, non-stop 70 mile race from Cooperstown to Bainbridge.
  • The Au Sable River Canoe Marathon: a non-stop race from Grayling to Oscoda on Michigan's Au Sable River during the last weekend of July.
  • La Classique internationale de canots de la Mauricie: staged Labor Day weekend on Quebec's Saint-Maurice River, a three-day race from La Tuque to Trois-Rivières."La Classique internationale de canots de la Mauricie". Retrieved May 13, 2012. 

    • Competitors race in USCA C1s and C2s. It is a popular spectator event. The competitors maintain a pace of 50 to 80 strokes per minute and the competition is intense. Athletes must complete portages at a running pace.

    The triple crown was established in 1992 and recognizes the performances by athletes who compete at all three races.
