  • Since 2022, Columbus has hosted two world-class kayak competitions. This year, the city is starting a kayak competition of its own, right on the Chattahoochee. Columbus hosted international competitors for the International Canoe Federation's 2022 Kayak World Cup and 2023 Kayak World Championship.

The article from MSN discusses the introduction of a new kayak competition set to take place in Columbus, Georgia. This event, named the "Making Waves Kayak Competition," is designed to attract both professional and amateur kayakers. It will feature various categories of races, including sprints and long-distance challenges, along with freestyle events where participants can showcase their skills in performing tricks. The competition aims to promote the sport of kayaking, foster community engagement, and highlight the scenic beauty of the Chattahoochee River. Organizers are also focusing on environmental conservation, with initiatives to clean up the river and educate participants about waterway preservation. The event is expected to boost local tourism and provide a platform for kayakers to compete, learn, and enjoy the sport in a competitive yet friendly environment.
