SUMMARY:Coli Cross - Presented by Ottawa Kayak School
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Coli-Cross: A New Kayak Cross Event for the 2026 Season on the Ottawa River!\nGet ready for an exciting event in the 2026 kayaking season! Coli-Cross\, a thrilling twist on the popular Kayak-Cross format\, is coming to the Ottawa River. Inspired by the highly successful Kayak-Cross debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics\, Coli-Cross promises intense competition and unforgettable action for kayakers of all skill levels. \nWhat is Coli-Cross?\nColi-Cross is an innovative Kayak Cross-style race that brings the fast-paced\, adrenaline-pumping excitement of mass-start kayaking to one of the most iconic whitewater rivers in the world—the Ottawa River. This event builds on the Kayak-Cross rules used in international competitions\, with a few unique twists designed to keep things fresh and challenging. \nInspired by the Olympic version\, which featured mass-produced whitewater kayaks (9ft and under) racing on courses ranging from 150m to 400m\, Coli-Cross will be set along the Main Channel of the Ottawa River\, where two famous rapids\, Normans and Coliseum\, create a natural 400-meter course. \nKey Features of Coli-Cross\nWhile Coli-Cross follows the basic framework of traditional Kayak Cross\, there are some important differences: \n\nBoater-Cross Start: Due to the forested nature of the river\, competitors will not launch from the water (seal-launch). Instead\, races will begin from the shoreline\, in a boater-cross style start.\nKickflip Challenge: Rather than requiring a kayak roll mid-race\, Coli-Cross will feature a mandatory kickflip attempt between the start and finish line. This optional challenge adds an extra element of excitement and skill to the race.\n\nColi-Cross Race Information\n\nDate: July 5th\, 2026\nStart Time: High noon (12:00 PM)\nFormat: Racers will compete in heats of four until only one competitor remains in each class.\n\nClick here to register online for just $30 CAD! \nWhy Participate in Coli-Cross?\n\nUnique Race Format: Coli-Cross combines the thrill of Kayak Cross with new elements like the kickflip challenge.\nIconic Venue: Race on the Ottawa River\, home to some of the most exciting whitewater in the world.\n\nHave Questions?\nFor more information\, feel free to reach out to the event organizers: \n\nJoel Kowalski: Joel@wildernesstours.com\nCasey Bryant Jones: Casey@ottawakayak.com\n\nDon’t miss your chance to be part of this brand-new kayak racing tradition. Register for Coli-Cross today and get ready for a thrilling ride on the Ottawa River! \n
