Little Danube Paddling Marathon

THE 10th ANNIVERSARY LITTLE DANUBE PADDLING MARATHON IS HERE!

Calling all paddlers, families, and fans! This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our marathon and we can't wait to see you. Get your boats, paddles, and good spirits ready!

WHEN? Saturday, May 2, 2026

WHERE? Nová Dedinka (Campsite) – This is the location for the main marathon start, the award ceremony, and the accompanying program. Shuttle service is provided – after reaching the finish line, we will transport everyone back to the start!

IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE FOR C2 CATEGORIES!

To ensure completely fair conditions for our anniversary year, we have changed the rules for the C2 Men, C2 Women, and C2 Mixed categories. All participants in these categories will now compete EXCLUSIVELY in Apache-type canoes!

Do you have a different boat? No problem! We have created a brand new category: C2 Open (mixed and non-competitive), where you can participate in any other touring canoe with a minimum width of 80 cm.

What else can you look forward to?

The marathon features 3 different routes: Main Marathon (31 km), Short Route (14 km), and Para Paddle (8 km) across 11 different categories.

Traditional Raffle: As per tradition, all crews that finish the main marathon within the time limit will be entered into a raffle for a brand NEW CANOE with paddles and other great prizes!

Great food, friends, and live music at the finish line.

Registration is now OPEN! You can find all the rules, route details, and the registration form on our new website.

See you on the water!
