How it works

The race takes place over one day and teams will take part in a minimum of three races before the fastest team goes through to the semi-final. The boat and life jackets are provided – all you need is a crew of between 8 and 10 paddlers and a drummer to keep rhythm to complete in this historic race for glory.

All we ask is that you are over 16 (anyone under the age of 18 will need written permission from a parent/guardian) and that you are able to swim 50 metres. If you would like someone in your team who is under 16 please contact the events team beforehand to check.

As well as the action taking place on the lake there will be range of fairground rides and refreshments available throughout the day for the while family.
Each team will also have the chance to win Best Dressed, so pick a team name and theme go all out!
