Triple Crown of Canoe Racing

The Triple Crown of Canoe Racing is a canoe marathon series consisting of:

The General Clinton Canoe Regatta: staged Memorial Day on New York's Susquehanna River, a one-day, non-stop 70 mile race from Cooperstown to Bainbridge.
The Au Sable River Canoe Marathon: a non-stop race from Grayling Charter Township to Oscoda on Michigan's Au Sable River during the last weekend of July.
La Classique internationale de canots de la Mauricie: staged Labor Day weekend on Quebec's Saint-Maurice River, a three-day race from La Tuque to Trois-Rivières.

It is a popular spectator event and an intense competition. Competitors race in USCA C2 canoes wherein they maintain a pace of 50 to 80 strokes per minute. Athletes must complete portages at a running pace.
The triple crown was established in 1992 and recognizes the performances by athletes who compete at all three races.
