The last event we ran at the Lee Valley was a huge success, a big thank you to everyone involved, Paddlers, staff, and volunteers. As promised we are going to be back, and with the very positive feed back we have had, we will be tweaking the event to make it even better still. It is a learning process for us as well and with your help, each event will be better than the last.

This is a long-term project, The Sharks Legacy to Wild Water Racing, our plan is to run two events a year on the Legacy, to help develop Wild Water Range as a discipline, to help paddlers develop skills by being able to practice on this first class facility, and to run ranking races.

What are we planning

A great day White Water training and practice, for all standards and abilities. we are currently working with the Wild Water Racing Committee and the organisers of the Barrow race, so we can deliver a truly awesome weekend of paddling.

We will host introductory sessions for those new to WWR, or have not yet built the confidence to race the whole course. There while be an hour (plus) of exclusive use, so no interference from other paddlers racing past. Paddlers will all get timed runs and will be recorded as a Wavehopper Race.

We will also have an exclusive period of full uninterrupted complete runs down the whole course. Canoes and Kayaks will be available to borrow and we are very keen on people trying Canoes, both singles and doubles.
