Why not have a fun day out in Barrow on Soar, near Loughborough, paddle a different river, get some new experience? Suitable for all standards and all boats.
The race is 3k (about 1.8 miles). starting below a weir and meanders through the Leicestershire countryside and finishes where you got in. There are no rocks or dangers, just a nice flowing stream with a few weeds to avoid (and they don’t hurt if you hit them).
You get in at the Lock and paddle to the weir as a warm up and then portage the Lock for the race start.
