More than 400 paddlers to compete in the Balearic Winter Canoeing Championship

The area around the former Maritime Station will host the event for the second consecutive year. Competition begins on Saturday, February 28th, with junior, senior, and veteran categories, and concludes on Sunday, March 1st, with benjamin, alevín, infant, and cadet age groups.

The 2026 Balearic Winter Canoeing Championship will take place this weekend in the port of Mahón, where more than 400 participants and 16 clubs from across the Balearic Islands are expected to compete. The event is organised by Club Marítimo de Mahón and the Balearic Canoeing Federation, with the support of the Port Authority.

On Saturday, from 11:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., the area around the former Maritime Station will be filled with colour and atmosphere. Last year, the event crowned Club Marítimo de Mahón as double Balearic champion. The first day will feature junior, senior, and veteran races, while Sunday, during the same time slot, will host the benjamin, alevín, infant, and cadet categories.

Club Marítimo de Mahón is once again organising the championship at the request of the clubs, who enjoyed the 2025 experience and are keen to repeat it. To enhance the spectator experience, stands will once again be installed near the finish area so the public can follow each race, which will take place in front of the former Maritime Station. A bar service will also be available to complement the event.
