Join us at for the inaugural Teddington Lock paddleboard race - you can hire our boards and equipment or bring your own.

Lots of fun on the river, mixed with fundraising for the RNLI.

The races will be taking place all afternoon on Saturday 17th September between 12:00 and 18:00. Bring your own paddleboard, or rent one from The Anglers on the day.

Entry £20 if you have your own board, with 50% going to the RNLI. Board rental £10.

Free drinks voucher and snacks kindly provided by The Anglers with every entry.

Each competitor will race on a timed 400m course, starting by the bridge at Teddington Lock, and heading downstream, round a marker buoy and behind the moorings to the finish line at The Anglers. Each race should take about 10 minutes to complete - so these are sprints, not marathons!

All you need to do is sign-up for one of the race heats, turn up for your session, have a little warm-up, and away you go!

Everyone will be timed, with prizes for fastest time of the day, fastest male, fastest female and fastest over-60. There'll also be a doggy paddle race, and a fancy dress race, and a race for two on a board. Everyone very welcome to compete in fancy dress!

Prize giving at 6pm
