Marathon Canoe Kayak Race Development in Ontario
The goal of OMCKRA's Race Development Program (RDP) is to increase the number and quality of Marathon races and race organizers in Ontario.
Marathon races are central to what we do. Our race support committee works to support race organizers to succeed and have safe and successful races. We help with documentation, insurance, advice, and training. We provide information on:
-
the marathon safety and boat specification policies and why they matter in long-distance races
-
the insurance policy in place and the requirements of that policy
Short-term objectives under the ABC tactics are:
Accreditation
-
review & approve Ontario races as sanctioned/recognized
-
review& approve the Ontario Qualifier race for Marathon Worlds
