The World Rafting Federation (WRF) is making waves with the launch of the Next Generation Rafting Cup, an exciting new race series for young teams ready to take on the rapids! Starting next year, these events will be specially designed for up-and-coming rafting athletes, creating a fast-paced, inclusive competition where the next generation of rafters can shine.

With an open registration policy, the Next Generation Rafting Cup aims to broaden participation, allowing youth teams to experience the thrill of rafting without facing the intense regulations of more seasoned tournaments. These races will promote inclusivity and teamwork. The competitions will also feature shorter courses and various difficulty levels, making it accessible for new talent while still offering a tough challenge.

The WRF is planning several incentive programs. Teams could receive coaching workshops, and grants to support their participation in multiple events across the season. Prizes could include training camps. Media coverage will also focus on building up young stars, with spotlight features, athlete interviews, and social media takeovers to showcase their progress and stories.

This initiative by the WRF is more than a competition—it’s about fostering a community of young, motivated athletes, preparing the sport for a new era. Get ready for the Next Generation Rafting Cup: the future of rafting starts now!
