This article is describing two different topics:

ICF canoe marathon, which uses the ICF canoe sprint boats. Boats are paddled while kneeling, always on the same side.
Marathon canoe which uses a two-person touring type canoe. The paddlers sit on seats and alternate sides (while shouting "hut"). This type of racing does not seem to have a international governing body, but there is a lot of provincial and regional organisations.

Short-term solution might be to move the ICF content off this page and over to sprint canoe. --Cornellier (talk) 14:53, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
