This late-season canal race attracts casual and elite canoe, kayak, SUP, and surf-ski athletes. Enjoy the first touch of fall with a cheerful end of season paddling event.

The course follows the lush, gently flowing Seneca-Cayuga canal, which is about 40 yards wide. If weather permits, there is an open water portion of the course on Seneca Lake.
