Race the Rother paddleboard event returns to Bodiam this spring. Once again St Michael’s Hospice is teaming up with their friends at Epic Life to bring you an event full to the brim with outdoor fun for all the family!

The event features one race for all ages and abilities.

• 3km or 5km Race: Starting at 1pm one large race that will accommodate all skill levels and include tandem paddling. This way, everyone can participate and have a great time on the water with a choice of shorter or longer routes.
• Families and leisure seekers: From 1:15pm, enjoy the wildlife, flora and fauna as you meander along the Rother.
• Mega-SUP 2K (6-8 people): This challenge is a fantastic opportunity to have fun and bond with your team of paddlers, enjoy being outdoors, get some exercise and support a local charity making a difference in Hastings and Rother. It’s a perfect way to spend a team-building day out. So come on, grab your squad and get ready to paddle your way to victory on the Mega-SUP boards. You’ll be cheering each other on and laughing all the way to the finish line. And who knows, maybe your team will be the first to claim the champions title at Race the Rother!

Limited edition medals will be awarded to all participants as you paddle across the finish line (wet or dry!). And, once you’ve worked up an appetite, head over to The Hub and indulge in some well-deserved nourishment from one of our amazing event sponsors.
