POSTPONED DUE TO HIGH WATER LEVELS. It is hoped this event will now take place in February 2025.
The Ballyconnell Slalom race will take place on Sunday 24th November. A friendly local club competition and we encourage all to participate (slalom boats not required). There will be goodie bags and a light soup lunch. Additional snacks and tea/coffee will be available for sale.
The race will take place on the white water course at Lock 2 on the Shannon-Erne Blueway, super friendly for those starting out on white water and safe rescue conditions after the waves.
There will be slalom and boatercross events for beginners and intermediates. This is an over 18s only event but spectators welcome. All paddlers should be of a level 2 standard or above and members of Canoeing Ireland for insurance purposes. Please let us know if you are able to assist with rescue.
