The Veluwe Rally is organized by the WaterSportVerbond, and is held traditionally on the last Sunday of September.

The Veluwe Rally, one of the biggest canoe events in the Netherlands, runs on the river IJssel in the Eastern part of the Netherlands.

The achievement tour is suited for everybody who has some experience of canoeing on rivers with commercial shipping. The age does not matter at all: our oldest participant is now 80 years old (on 50 km) and if you are under 14 years old you can paddle together in one boat with an adult.

On the IJssel one paddles downstream to one of the finishes: Wijhe (20 km), Hattem (35 km) or Kampen (100 km). For the more experienced paddlers there is a 80 KM distance, which contains of 15 km upstream to Gorssel and then downstream to Kampen.

Accept the challenge to achieve such a paddling goal, the season and the beautiful surroundings And historical cities invite you to this magnificent tour. The atmosphere is very enjoyable also because of the numbers of canoe campagnions before and during the tour and the friendly stay on the campground which is opened during the whole weekend.
