Raising vital funds with every stroke
Jump on board with us on Sunday 1 October as we SUP 11 kilometres along the River Thames from the Red Lion pub in Castle Eaton to the beautiful riverside in Lechlade. Last year was so much fun and a great challenge so we’d love to see you there again and to welcome new comers taking to the water for Prospect Hospice.
Whether you are a novice or a pro paddler, you will enjoy the spectacular scenery of the River Thames and benefit from getting active in the great outdoors, all whilst raising vital funds for Prospect Hospice.
Start times will be staggered from 9am. It’s not a race and we expect you to take around 2.5 hours to paddle along the glorious route. At the finish you will be rewarded with a warm welcome from us and all your supporters, a medal, snacks and ice cold lemonade.
We ask you to bring your own board, paddle and life jacket/buoyancy aid where possible please (these are mandatory), but we do have a limited supply to lend if needed, just let us know.
It is £20 to register and we expect this event to sell out quickly so don’t delay and sign up today.
Fundraising is extremely important to us, so when you register you will automatically be set up with your fundraising page to personalise and share with all your family and friends so it’s easy to donate. We would love each of you to set a fundraising target of a minimum £200 which will help Prospect Hospice to continue providing outstanding care to our local community.
We can’t wait to see you there.
