LIFFEY

DESCENT

1961

1963 1975

With the unprecedented conditions presented by the COVID-19 pandemic,

the 2020 Liffey Descent was very unfortunately cancelled. This decision

was made both for the safety of all participants and volunteers. We also

wanted to ensure that the race, when held, would provide the best racing

experience for all participants.

To make sure we all still get a taste of the Liffey Descent this year let’s look

back at the fantastic history of this race and why it is the highlight of the

Irish racing calendar every year.

Roger Greene

RIP

This year the paddlesport community also lost a

pioneer of our sport. Roger Greene, a member of

Dun Laoghaire Canoe Club, won the first three

Liffey Races 1960-62. Roger became a great

volunteer in the sport as well, helping to organise

the early Liffey Descent races.

Roger Greene passed away peacefully on the 17th

September. Our sympathies go out to Rogers

Family & Friends.
