Will it be warmer? Who knows... but one thing's for sure - well have fun, and celebrate with a bacon buttie.

It doesn't matter if you haven't raced before, this event is open to all abilities. However, to race on the Thames, you will need to bring your British Canoe Association membership/Water Skills Academy licence/EA licence. If you don't have one, they cost £45 for an annual membership https://members.britishcanoeing.org.uk/waterways-licence/

Please bring your own board unless otherwise stated, and dress appropriately for the weather. You will need a buoyancy aid and licence to use the Thames.

Registration will start from 8.15am.
