If the Topsport Pro-Am Winter Kayaking Series isn’t in your diary, then that definitely needs to change!!

Topsport Kayaking started this race series in 2022 with the direct intention to help paddlers both new and seasoned get out the water with a purpose during winter. A new paddler often feels like Coast to Coast is a long way away but the reality is it isn’t when you are just getting started learning a new sport. Building your confidence and skills in a kayak takes time. The section of river that we use for these races is ideal for doing just that. The races increase in distance as the series progresses, as will your confidence and experience. You just can’t get this from a training paddle on the Avon.

We have a novice category in each of the races. We created this novice class for new paddlers in their first season of racing. We provide extra support and guidance on the river to this class so make sure you select it when you get your entries in if you are just getting started.

If you are one of our seasoned paddlers then you know the race is a great chance to line up against your fellow training buddies and enjoy some good old fashioned banter out on the river together.

The race dates are:
