Next up on the CORA Sanctioned Eastern Canada outrigger canoe events for 2026 is the Fall Classic in Ottawa on October 10, 2026 (Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend, so that you can work up an appetite for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner) hosted by Rideau Outrigger Racing Club. This event will be a small-boat 11.5KM time trial out and back race down the picturesque Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage site. This year’s Fall Classic will include a 12KM OC6 race option for the first time! OC6 will race at 10AM from Mooney’s Bay Boat launch. OC1/2 will race at 1PM from Hartwell’s Lockstation (1500M paddle) away from start/finish of OC6. OC6 race will be a mass start format, whereas OC1/OC2/SUP/Surfski will be a staggered time trial start (30 seconds between racers).
As a CORA Sanctioned Event and a CORA Eastern Canada CORA Cup Series Event, the Fall Classic is eligible for various CORA funding. For event / registration information, please contact Mark Singer at Rideau Outrigger Racing Club.
