Valmiera hosts the NordicCup 2024 stages in canoe slalom.

This weekend, Valmiera will host the NordicCup canoe slalom series. Revived since 2021, the Latvian stages take place annually at the "Krāces" sports complex. This year, the NordicCup offers us the full spectrum of this fast-water sport—two stages in the classic canoe slalom disciplines. The events will take place this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (August 16-18, 2024).

Important!!! The competition kicks off this Friday at 4:30 PM with the dynamic Slalom Sprint discipline, followed by the classic slalom races on Saturday, including the spectator-favorite Extreme Slalom discipline. (4:00 PM – qualifications, 5:00 PM – preliminary heats (with four boats racing simultaneously, starting with a jump from the ramp) and finals).

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING – Have you ever seen our own Gauja rapids so full of power and energy as they are now? Come and CHECK IT OUT!
