The small Central Districts incorporates the old Free State Canoe Union, as well as clubs in the Northern Cape and North West provinces. It is based in Bloemfontein and provides a domestic season aimed at training for the major LD races across the country. It’s premier event is the 2-day Orange River Marathon, which is a blend of long expanses of flat water and a few massive rapids.
