Saturday November 11th

We will be attending the Barrow Wild Water Race on Saturday November 11th, this race is an entry level race and is suitable for anyone who can paddle 3k. So why not give it a try?

It is a great day out, lots of fun, on a nice river with flow to help you, no rough water and no rocks. An ideal place to start River Racing.

We attended attended the race in October, would be nice to have a much larger group of Shark paddlers there this time, and some new faces to the discipline would be even nicer. The races are relaxed and an ideal place to start Wild Water Racing. The races can be done in any boat, slalom or Wild Water Racer, so suitable for all our paddlers. Although we would like to get as many as possible into River Racers.

The Barrow Race takes place at Barrow-on-Soar, just outside Loughborough, it is about 120 miles, just over two hours drive. The address is: Soar Bridge Inn, LE12 8PN. Entries cost just £5 per person. After race refreshments are available in the plethora of coffee shops in Loughborough.

To access the race course we paddle a short warm up along the Canal, we then portage into the River and race back to where we got in. Logistically beautiful!
