We are delighted to have run yet another hugely successful Share Slalom event in Ballyconnell, on Sunday November 24th.
What was included in the Slalom event?
There were a number of races throughout the day, starting with Division 1 and 2 on the slalom kayaks, at 9am.
Division 3 then started at 11am followed by the canoes and rafts at 1pm.
Each race was split into categories for experienced paddlers, novices, ladies, men and verterans, making the event suitable for people of all abilities.
