Join us for a great day out, a fun, but competitive race at Barrow-upon-Soar, ideal for entry level paddlers and those with plenty of experience who want a good race. You can enter here.
This is truly a great fun day out and really is suitable for anybody who can paddle 3k! We meet at the Moorings Public House at Barrow-Upon-Soar, LE12 8PN, at 10am. The race begins at 11am, it starts a short paddle up from the Moorings and is a 3k loop on the River Soar, ending back at the Moorings. After the race you can either go home, or you can join us for a meal and some social chat in one of the many local food outlets. in and around Loughborough.
The Barrow is about 120 miles north of London and takes about 2 hours to drive there. If you have never done it before and would like further information, give us a call/text on 07951 770241, or email: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk. We can plan lifts etcetera to make it easier, cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Read the report from the last race. You can race in any type of kayak or canoe, entry fees are just £7 per person. Over the years we have had some great times at the Barrow.
