SUPRome2016

The International Tiber Descend (DIT) is a yearly paddling event lasting approximately one week, crossing central Italy, along the Tiber river, from Umbria, where it starts the last week of April, to Rome where it ends on the 1^st of May; from the 2014 the Descent is undertaken also with the Stand Up Paddling.

The 1^st of May the paddling experience crosses the all city of Rome (RomeGRAtoGRA) and Stand Up Paddlers are welcome within the event SUPROME.

SUPROME,  this year at its second edition is not a race nor a competition. It is a 24 km paddling experience through time, crossing the "ethernal city" and passing under ancient and contemporary bridges. SUPRome is, however, a good way to train for racing.

The SUP race will be held the 1st of May 2017...next year.
