King & Queen of Hell


Introducing the exciting King and Queen of Hell Race Series, fresh for 2024! Brace yourself for six thrilling races packed with adrenaline as participants vie for points-based rewards and the esteemed titles of King and Queen of Hell.

To partake in this thrilling series, racers must declare their intent and register for each of the following races: shortboat, creek boat, and long boat for both short course and long course categories. With six races throughout the day, participants have the opportunity to score a total of 60 points if they emerge victorious in each category.

The competition spans three short-course races and three long-course races, covering short boat, creek boat, and long boat categories. Canoes will be grouped by boat length, ensuring a level playing field for all contenders.

Points will be distributed to the top 10 men and women in each category, with the winner of each race receiving 10 points, the runner-up receiving 9 points, and so forth, down to 1 point for the 10th place finisher.

But the excitement doesn't end there!

Prizes for men and women are still to be determined.

Prepare to test your limits, conquer the rapids, and seize your crown in the ultimate display of paddling prowess. Join us for the King and Queen of Hell Race Series and stake your claim to greatness!
