In each division title, the letter signifies the type of craft (canoe or kayak) and the number signifies the number of paddlers (1 or 2). C2, for example, is a canoe with two paddlers. Similarly, K1 is a kayak with one paddler.
All paddlers in the canoe divisions must use single-blade canoe paddles. Paddlers in the kayak divisions may use double-bladed kayak paddles or single-bladed canoe paddles.
All divisions may compete on either racecourse. However, the Aluminum divisions and the Child/Adult division will only be awarded medals on the Hartsburg to Jefferson City course. Team SUP division will only be awarded medals on the Providence course.
Divisions that do not have at least 3 registered boats may be merged with another division.
