Competitors race in USCA C1s and C2s. It is a popular spectator event. The competitors maintain a pace of 50 to 80 strokes per minute and the competition is intense. Athletes must complete portages at a running pace. [3]

The triple crown was established in 1992 and recognizes the performances by athletes who compete at all three races.[4][3][5]
