The course is the same as 2004 and 2005, on the River Tummel below the Coronation Bridge. The start line will be 10m above the first small rapid after the bridge (sometimes known as horseshoe) and the finish line on Loch Faskally, approximately 10m below the 7metre double-drop waterfall. The total distance of the race is in the region of 500m.

The start will be conducted Americas Cup yachting style, with paddlers being informed 20 sec's, 10 sec's and 5 sec's prior to the starting gun, meaning a rolling start is possible. Any competitor over the line at the sounding of the gun in any heat/race will have to paddle into the first eddy on the left after the horseshoe and touch a penalty marker.
"Jostling" for position with paddles and/or boats is expected and accepted. However any intentional holding back of other paddlers by hand at any stage in the race will result in the paddler/paddlers responsible being disqualified.
There will be seven categories in the 2006 event comprising of a maximum of 288 paddlers. The break down will be as follows; 128 open men, 64 women, 32 pro men, 16 masters (over 40), 16 juniors (under 18), 16 C1 and 16 OC1. Entry will be on a first in first served basis and entry will be confirmed only upon receipt of entry fee.
There will be no seeding in any category and all heats will be drawn out of the hat. All boater X races will be knockout with the first two places advancing to the next round.
