Saturday 14th October
Who is racing on Saturday? just £5 to enter, lots of fun, nice 3k race and coffee afterwards.
We had some great fun at these races last season and it is time to start again. First one is this Saturday, if you can paddle 3k, then you can do it. You can use any boat, Wild Water Racers are best, but other racing boats or slalom boats are fine. For mor information contact Neal on 07951 770241 or email: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk.
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!
