Dear Paddlers
Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a difficult position regarding Liffey Descent 2022. The warm summer has resulted in extremely low levels in the reservoir that supplies the river Liffey with no hope of any relieving rainfall according to the long-range forecast. With the best interests of the health, safety and enjoyment of participants we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s event.
We are exploring the option of moving the race to April to alleviate the annual issue with water levels, which have become more problematic in recent years. If this plan comes to fruition, we will be offering you the option to move your entry to the new date. At this point we wanted to give you as much notice as possible of the cancellation so please bear with us while we work through our options.
We understand that Liffey Descent has a special place in on your calendar and we share your disappointment that it will not go ahead this year.
We will be in touch with updates when we have a firm decision in relation to dates.
Yours in sport,
Canoeing Ireland
