Description of the event/competition concept
The competition is an individual time trial sprint down a steep technical section of whitewater. With our beautiful and mighty rivers here in Voss, we are sure to have an event to remember. There will be 2 qualifying runs and the best time counts. 8 Women and 15 Open will qualify for the final with the fastest Open & Women being crowned champions and hold gloating rights for the year.
