National Go Canoeing Week
National Go Canoeing Week, May 28th to June 5th, is your chance to get out and try canoeing in an environment where you can feel comfortable and have some fun!
Take part in a starter session based at a club or centre in your area, go on a guided tour/trip down the river or canal, or attend an event where you can find out more about where you can go paddling.
There will be prizes along the way and throughout the week we will be encouraging people to log their miles on the website to be automatically entered into a prize draw to win a number of fantastic prizes.
This years challenge is to paddle 30,000 miles and join our mascot Macgregor on his journey across the UK at fun events and starter sessions on his way to Rio for the Olympics!
With hundreds of great activities suitable for everyone from complete beginners to pro-paddlers there is a way for everybody to take part. Whatever activities you choose don’t forget to log your miles with us to help us reach our target!
