Adrenaline on the Adige: National Canoe Slalom Races in Verona

The heart of Verona is set to host a prestigious sporting event. On Saturday, September 19th, and Sunday, September 20th, 2026, the waters of the Adige River will serve as the natural stage for the National Canoe Slalom Races, an event blending refined technique with athletic power.

Over 200 athletes, representing more than 35 sports associations, will gather along the Lungadige Attiraglio. The event, organized with dedication by the Canoa Club Verona in collaboration with the CNGEI Scout group, marks a crucial milestone in the national sports calendar. Saturday will focus on pure speed with the national slalom sprint race, while Sunday will shift the spotlight to the technical precision required by the classic slalom.

This competition serves not only as an athletic test but also as a benchmark for future ambitions, as the organizers look toward hosting major international events in the coming years. The historic and monumental setting of the city provides a unique backdrop for this discipline, transforming the river into a racecourse where the current becomes a partner in the paddlers’ mastery.
