London Kayakathon

On the same day as the London Marathon
a 26.2 mile Kayakathon will be held on the river Thames

On the 17th of April 2011 we hope to build on the sucsess of last years kayakathon and get even more experienced kayakers on the river Thames to paddle 26.2 miles.  The main aim of the event is to raise money for a variety of charities.  The day is organised as a journey along the Thames through the city centre as a lead group.

The London Kayakathon’s founder Simon Osborne started the event ‘Kayaking For Cancer’ in 2002 and has raised over £30,000 for Leukaemia Research in memory of his brother Mark. If you are interested in joining in this year please fill in one of our entry forms. The event is to be hosted by Shadwell Basin Outdoor Centre.

Event supported by the Canoe England Sea Touring Committee.
