Registered Office: Kosiginsa str.15, 119334, Russia, Moscow, Phone: +7 926 706 9792 Website: www.rusraftfed.ru RRF is nonprofit, non-governmental sport organization. Founded in 1997 and was registered in the RF Ministry Of Justice as All-Russia rafting federation in 2001. Rafting recreational activity is possible in most areas of the country, even in extreme north, as well as in places with low developed infrastructure, thus creating conditions for development of the sport of rafting. No wonder that rafting is popular sport in Russia. Major sport venues are associated with natural whitewater streams. Atificial courses, which are few in Russia, are not utilized for rafting events at the moment. Russian raftsmen are favorites of major International rafting competitions, both in men’s and women category, as well as in the youth division. Starting with 1999(first World Rafting Champs) they were among prizewinners. On the initiative of RRF youth sport was introduced to International A and B-level events. First such event was held in Holland in 2010. Youth men’s team won the title of the Champions, while girls’ team won bronze medal. Youth sport is cultivated in Russia since 2003. |
