Sample marathon in canoe relay - Au Sable River Canoe Marathon
The Au Sable River Canoe Marathon is the most grueling challenge in that sport, requiring two paddlers to cover 120 miles of twisting river, mostly in the dark, in 14-18 hours.
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to compete in that event, here's your chance to take part in a relay version designed for people who aren't as fit and experienced as the pros, the Au Sable spring trials.
