KN – ORCC Joint Program

Kanata Nordic is excited to announce that we will continue to enhance our cooperative training  with the Ottawa River Canoe Club (ORCC).  XC and paddling have many common elements and synergies in terms of training and it made sense to continue with our initial efforts of last year.  The two clubs also have many things in common in terms of promoting an active lifestyle, athlete development, and training.  This joint venture permits both Clubs to share resources, volunteers and coaching staff.  In this regard, we are very happy to welcome Steve Tuttle to assist with coaching over the winter.

ORCC athletes will join the Racers for on snow training while some Racers will join the ORCC winter dryland strength, speed, and agility program.  ORCC athletes  register for the various options through the ORCC website (www.ottawarivercanoe.com) while KN athletes will register as usual.  KN athletes interested in the strength, speed and agility are to contact Harris Kirby and/or Mike Duivenvoorden.

 Racers they may register for core strength, speed and agility for a Tuesday or Thursday night session.  Depending on the night chosen the athlete would ski on the opposite night in addition to the regular Saturday session.
