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. 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.
You can sign up as adventure category or race category. Every finishers is awarded their R2TC medal and top 3 from each category win prizes.
