It is an Olympic year! And an ambitious group of slalom kayakers will be working hard this summer to qualify for the few coveted slots on the US team headed to London. While slalom only hits the front page every four years, amateur slalom events have been a tradition in the southeast for 40+ years. The history behind the numerous events held in the southeast is long and noteworthy.  Many an Olympic paddler has emerged from the ranks of these southeastern races. Even more noteworthy is that many of the original participants and/or organizers of these southeastern events still participate today as friendly competitors, organizers and volunteers.

The southeast is host to a summer full of events, competitions, races, many of which are centered on and around the Nantahala River. Join us for a summer full of events, competitions, races scheduled throughout the southeast and the Nantahala River. For participants and spectators alike, keep posted on all the dates during the season.
