My story

This year Mark Campbell and Chris Milbank are taking part in, and aiming to complete the Devizes to Westimister Canoe Race.

This is the longest non-stop canoe race in the world – a unique physical and mental challenge. 125 miles straight through, non stop!

The Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race starts in Devizes, Wiltshire and finishes just downstream of Westminster Bridge in London, opposite the Houses of Parliament. The race has been held annually over the Easter Weekend since 1948.
 
The race is 125 miles long and has 77 portages. The first 52 miles are along the Kennet and Avon Canal, the next 55 miles are on the River Thames and the final section is on the tidal portion of the Thames.
 
The race is a severe test of skill and stamina which produces a memorable sense of achievement for those successfully completing it. The non-stop version of the race is the longest non-stop canoe race in the world.

If we reach our target we'll do it in fancy dress.

A single donation of over £500- you can choose the outfit for one paddler (must be able to paddle in it- so sadly cant be a camel or panto horses)!
