The Ontario Marathon Canoe Kayak Racing Association (OMCKRA) stands as the premier Provincial Ontario Sport Organization (PSO) dedicated exclusively to the advancement of Marathon Canoe and Kayak Racing. As an esteemed member of the Marathon Canoe Racing Council (MCRC), operating within the overarching structure of Canoe Kayak Canada (CKC), OMCKRA embodies the Marathon discipline within Canoe Kayak Ontario (CKO).
OMCKRA enjoys a rich network of affiliations and support systems. It is affiliated with both CKC and CKO, encompassing various paddling disciplines such as Sprint, Whitewater, and Marathon Canoe Racing. Moreover, OMCKRA proudly receives support from the Ontario Government Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport, underscoring its significance within the broader sporting community.
Marathon paddling stands out as an exceptional means to cultivate both strength and aerobic capacity. Serving as a safe, low-impact, high-aerobic sport, it offers an avenue for enhancing upper body and core strength. Moreover, its significant technical component puts to the test one's canoeing technique, river knowledge, and navigation skills. Over time, participants hone the ability to discern different water conditions, adeptly avoiding obstacles and capitalizing on the swiftest currents.
In marathon paddling, knowledge proves equally vital alongside muscle strength, elevating it as a sport where individuals of all ages and genders can thrive. Those who invest in developing both fitness and technical skills not only relish their time on the water but also reap the rewards of a profound sense of accomplishment.
