There’s a new event in town…. Race To The Castle. 40km Down River Race. One Way. The longest downriver race is the UK.
Race to the castle is a paddle board event, that celebrates the strength, strategy and courage a paddler makes when they commit to an ultra distance paddling challenge.
This is the first annual R2TC and we think it's going to be the start of something special. 40km of downriver paddling through the lush, rolling countryside of The Trent Valley.
You’ll be joining like minded folks who want to endurance paddle, to test themselves, to battle the elements, who want to race to the castle and then share and trade stories with you. These people will become your new friends.
We’re hoping you’ll join us every year. Same weekend, but the conditions will vary. Will it be a sunny? Will the wind be behind us? What will the flow rate be? Head wind? The love hate relationship with the checkpoint portages and the surprise and drama of the final sprint finish.
We know you’ve already won. You did that when you hit the signup button. When you made your training plan and went out on the water throughout winter. We know you also won when you joined the start-line under the iconic Suspension Bridge.
The “Actual Event” is your glory lap. The celebration of the commitment you made to your self. ANDDDD it is a race so get going and BRING HOME THE CROWN.
Ps You don’t have to race, you get all the above without the pressure of a race in our Adventure Category.
