CORA is hosting the Canadian 2026 Outrigger National Sprint Championships at the Burnaby Lake Pavilion and on the waters of Burnaby Lake, Burnaby, British Columbia on May 9 and 10, 2026. There are both V1 and OC6 500M events, as well as OC6 1000M (3-turn) events over the course of the weekend. It is expected that all registered crew and solo athletes will have the opportunity to race 3 times, from qualifying heats through semi-finals and finals. Note: both crews and solo athletes must register in only ONE AGE DIVISION, but can register in gender and mixed crew boats. This will require two registrations if registering in two crews.
500M V1 and OC6 races are on a 500M course (no turns). 1000M OC6 races are on a 250M course and will require 3 turns.
Before you register, please note the following requirements in place to ensure efficient racing:
- Paddlers in men’s and women’s crews may compete in mixed crews as well (requiring separate crew registrations); thus, groups of paddlers can form and register mixed crews to double their racing opportunities over the weekend if they wish. Participants must register in only ONE AGE DIVISION in both gender and mixed categories.
- Paddlers in men’s, women’s, and mixed crews may also register in V1 races; note that solo athletes must only register in ONE AGE DIVISION in V1 races
- Crews and solo paddlers must register and pay online for each entry (e.g. crew boat and solo) on or before Sunday 12 April at 12 Noon, or before spaces sell out (whichever comes first). CORA reserves the right to limit the total number of entries in any division.
- Crew roster forms and Adult Waiver and/or Junior Informed Consents must be downloaded and completed after crew payment and must be submitted no later than Friday 17 April. Note that roster forms and Adult Waivers and/or Junior Informed Consents for crews will only be made available to teams who have REGISTERED AND PAID.
- Adult Waivers for adult OC6 crews provide for 6 signatures on one form. Junior Informed Consents are completed for each junior paddler on an individual basis signed by the paddler’s parent or guardian and the junior paddler, with 6 forms consolidated for each junior OC6 crew, one for each paddler.
- Version 1 of the event race schedule will be distributed on or after 24 April.
- Racing is scheduled to begin each day at 9AM and end on or before 5PM; crews and athletes traveling to / from Metro Vancouver should factor these times in their travel plans.
- All participants must have valid CORA 2026 memberships.
