Sep 29 Sun For one amazing day, Rowing, Canoe Kayak and SUP will take over the River Thames to be centre stage in the world’s greatest city! This is the first of our updates letting you know how and when you can take part…
Excitingly, our website will be launching in early June. When the website goes live, so too will entries for Canoe Kayak and SUP.
We’re reinventing paddle sports! In our race classes, we’ll be pushing our mixed events right to the top as our blue-riband events. We will also be introducing non-racing challenge classes so you can enjoy the sport and the venue for what it is – fun!
The Canoe Kayak race classes in this year’s event will be K1, K2, C2 and K4, or you can paddle in other challenge classes. However you choose to take your spot on the start line, you’ll enjoy a stunning 12 mile paddle along a closed River Thames, taking in the capital’s landmarks!
