32. Brandenburger Kanumarathon 2026

The Brandenburger Kanumarathon is a long-distance kayak race held in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany. The event is based at Brandenburger Sportclub Süd 05 on Burgweg. It takes place in early September and is intended for experienced recreational paddlers, not beginners. Participants can select one of two distances: 29 km, with a start around midday, or 16 km, starting an hour later. The course follows the Havel River and adjacent lakes, presenting paddlers with both open water and connected channels. The race incorporates elements of canoe marathon, touring, sea kayaking, sprint-style racing, and recreational paddling, primarily attracting advanced adult amateurs. BSC Süd 05 organizes the event under LKV Brandenburg, and it also qualifies as a group trip according to DKV touring-sport regulations.
