The 2022 ECA Canoe Marathon European Championships will be organised in Silkeborg, Denmark. Silkeborg is also known as outdoor capital of Denmark. “I'm extremely pleased that we’ve been able to bring the Marathon European Championships to Silkeborg. Denmark and Silkeborg in particular have a long and proud marathon tradition. The Tour de Gudenaa – one of the oldest and longest marathons – has been centred around Silkeborg for more than 50 years, and Silkeborg has fostered some of the world’s strongest marathon paddlers.  Historically, Denmark is one of the nations which has created and shaped the canoe marathon. European Championships offers our skilled paddlers the exceptional opportunity of competing at home, supported by a home crowd,” said Ole Tikjøb, Chairman of the Danish Canoe Federation.
