2023 Liffey Descent to Take Place on Saturday 6th May

12th January 2023

The 2023 Liffey Descent has a new spring date of May 6th

Canoeing Ireland has announced that the 2023 Liffey Descent will take place on Saturday 6th, May.

The new spring date follows an extensive consultation process and, say organisers, ensures the best possible water levels and weather conditions for one of the biggest canoeing events of the year.

A long-time highlight on both the domestic and international marathon racing calendar, this race promises a return to top-level racing and fantastic community involvement that gives the Liffey Descent its status.

The race will feature the same stunning 30km route along the river Liffey, taking in the beautiful surroundings and the thrills of 10 weirs.

“Extremely low” water levels prompted the cancellation of September's 2022 Liffey Descent canoe and kayak race.
