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:

Champions of the 2001 Triple Crown Canoe Racing, their second Triple Crown Championship in a row, Serge Corbin (L), 44, of St-Boniface de Shawinigan, Quebec, and Jeff Kolka, 42, of Grayling, Michigan

Competitors race in USCA C2 canoes. 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.[4]

The triple crown was established in 1992 and recognizes the performances by athletes who compete at all three races.[5][4][6]
