Five Miles from home 2026

[Rachel]

Hi all

The idea of this event is that crews from anywhere in the World can row or paddle pretty much anything over a 5 mile “there and back route” ie not with a current all the way and record their effort on Strava. This has to be done any time between the 2nd - 6th September. It is a strange affair with the winning crew being the one that comes in the very middle of everyone else so in fact the most average!

We usually do this one by people getting together in crews and finding the day and time which suits them best to have a go. Then you can just book a boat and do it.  

Here is a link to the event. Registration is cheap and easy to do.
