The Jamie McEwan Whitewater Triple Crown Kayak Races: The whitewater triple crown is a competition in Tariffville Gorge for kayakers and canoeists in the three major whitewater disciplines: Wild water racing is about speed; the fastest boat down the river wins. Slalom requires precision. The paddlers must negotiate a series of gates for the fastest time. Freestyle is an acrobatic contest of spins, cartwheels and flips in whitewater. Incredible balance and reflexes prevail as paddlers are judged for their tricks. The competition can be seen from the banks of the river on both Saturday and Sunday on a weekend in spring or summer depending on river levels.
