For your interest, here is an e mail received:
I am writing to let you know that the 2010 Dalsland Canoe Marathon in West
Sweden will be held on 14th August. I do hope the event will be of interest to
your members.

Nature Travels, the UK specialist for outdoor experiences in Sweden, is pleased
to announce that we are the sole UK agent for the Dalsland Canoe Marathon. We
offer registration and booking for the event, kayak and canoe hire for race day,
a choice of accommodation in the area and additional activities before and/or
after the competition.

The Dalsland Canoe Marathon is Sweden's largest canoe and kayak event. The
course runs 55km through the stunning lake and river landscape of Dalsland in
West Sweden, easily accessible from Gothenburg. The marathon is a challenging
but fun event ideal for individuals, couples, small private groups or canoe and
kayak clubs. Spectators are also very welcome.


Almost 1000 paddlers participated in the marathon in 2009, including a number
from UK canoe and kayak clubs, and international interest is growing each year.
The event is open to committed paddlers and enthusiastic amateurs alike, with
competitors entering in one of the following classes:



•K1 elite
•K1 single kayak
•K2 double kayak
•Canadian Canoe
•There is also a range of Junior classes. The Junior course covers 20.7km and is
open to competitors aged 12-18.
I have also attached a poster in PDF format with information for the event,
which you may wish to forward to the appropriate persons or display on your club
noticeboard.
