Marathon Canoeing is a fun, but challenging endurance outdoor sport, happening across the country on rivers, lakes and canals, a nature-rich environment you don’t usually get to see from roads or footpaths. It offers progressive challenges from a couple of miles to the ultimate challenge of the 125 mile Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race.

As you learn more boat handling skills, it becomes tactically as well as physically challenging, with boats racing in groups and contesting sprint finishes. The racing system is based on ability divisions, so you can learn as you race against people of similar ability to you. As you progress, you’ll get promoted to higher divisions.
