This year's Mazda CanoeKayak Knockout event will take place on Sunday September 11th, 2011 at Ontario Place in downtown Toronto.

The Mazda Canoe Kayak Knockout is a true knockout format featuring Canada's top elite paddlers which is brought to you by Mazda Canada in partnership with CanoeKayak Canada.

The Mazda Canoe Kayak Knockout pins the best paddlers against each other in a series of highly explosive 200 metre sprint races. Athletes race for cash and in the past four years over $75,000 in cash prizes have been awarded.

Come out and watch the top high performance athletes, National team athletes, all the way to Olympic champions as they race for the number one spot.

The Mazda Canoe Kayak Knockout began in 2007 in an attempt to increase the exposure of flat water canoe and kayak sprint racing inside Canada. As well, the Knockout brings to Canada a unique high profile event that showcases the sport and the best Canadian paddlers.

This year's race card is filled with exciting races and lots of opportunity to compete. We encourage you to register as soon as possible and in as many events as you can. For more information on the race card please contact Christine Bain at CKC.
