31st of May to 01st of June 2008
The official history of Merano Canoeing begins in 1951 with the formation of the canoe section as an indipendent sport of the Merano Sports Club. In reality, however, a long time before the foundation of the club canoe rides were held on the Passiria River. Rising in the Passiria Valley it joins the Adige River only in Merano, and it seems to have been created for canoeing.
Since the early fifties the Merano Sports Club has held international canoe races here every year. In 1953, 1971 and again in 1983 the World Championships took place on the Passiria River.
One of this year's highlights will be the 53th International Canoe Slalom for which around 250 athletes from all over the world have already signed up.
Along with the races an interesting supporting programme will be offered: including the Exo Gilf Rapid Race, which will be staged on Saturday evening, and the legendary Kayak Party in the boat house compound. Here the race winners will be honoured.
