In late September the world championships for canoe and kayak marathon racing took place at Oklahoma City. Mike Herbert (middle, red jersey) was the U.S. representative in men's kayak. This photo was taken by Vadim Lischuk, whose son, Jesse, competed in kayak at the junior level.
Marathon racing, as the name suggests, is a long-distance discipline; the racers pictured here completed a 30-kilometer course. Typically, the course is done in laps of a circuit, with a portage in between laps.
