• Route #2: “PRO” division. Distance of 13.5 kilometers with the additional challenge of a complete circuit around two islands: Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis.

Solo or as a team
It is possible to participate in the event solo or as a group (4 people maximum). In both cases, each participant will have their own paddle. Then, there will be a lottery to determine the individuals and teams selected to participate. Registration fees are 60 euros including VAT per participant.

Important Information
People who pre-register in several categories (solo, team, leisure or pro division) will automatically be disqualified for the draw.

It is necessary to provide a medical certificate before the event (by uploading it to your space or with you when you pick up the bibs).

Paddlers must bring their own equipment to the race as the organization reserves its paddles for the press and its ambassadors.
