Editions
In the odd edition 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 the championships included only the sprint events. The classic race differs from the sprint race by the length of the course, therefore by the duration, which can go from 6 to 25 minutes for the classic race and up to a maximum of 2 minutes for the sprint race.
Starting from the 2017 edition of Pau, the sprint championships took place together with the Canoe Slalom World Championships and given the remarkable success this was repeated for the second time at La Seu d'Urgell in 2019.[2]
