2022 CORA Cup Race Series

With the resumption of OC6 racing, the CORA Cup Race Series is back for 2022!

There are FOUR OC6 races in the 2022 CORA Cup series:
Duel in the Desert, May 7, 2022
Island Iron, June 4, 2022
Lotus Iron, July 2, 2022 July 23, 2022
Canadian National Championships – Comox, Sept. 10, 2022

To qualify for your respective divisional awards, crews must participate in a minimum of 3 of the 4 events to qualify. Participation at the Canadian National Championships is required, and can count as one of the three races.

Team name, gender and age division and canoe class must be EXACTLY the same for all CORA Cup races if a crew wishes to accrue points towards a specific CORA Cup Series crew title, so ensure the same person registers your crews for each race (For example: “FCRCC Men 2” is NOT the same as “False Creek Men 2”; “FCRCC Happy Walruses” is NOT the same as “Happy Walruses”; “FCRCC 1” cannot refer to both a men’s crew and a women’s crew in the same race, nor a men’s crew in one race and a women’s crew in another race).
