👉 Choosing Your Start Group

Start groups apply only to kayak and canoe classes.

NB! All participants who wish to qualify for the ELITE or SUPER start group are required to complete the start group questionnaire. Only a correctly completed questionnaire serves as the basis for issuing the corresponding start group sticker for the race number.
Without a valid sticker, it is not possible to enter the ELITE or SUPER start area, regardless of previous results, achievements, or agreements.

For participants in the MARATHON start group, completing the questionnaire is recommended but not mandatory.
