A RACE FOR EVERY LEVEL
Whether you are an avid enthusiast wanting to take on a fun challenge with the 6km long distance race, more comfortable taking on a a shorter 3km race, or even getting your feet wet with a fun 1km race, there are multiple options on offer at the London SUP Open to get on the water and take part. There is even a 200m course for those wanting an all out sprint for kicks.
Remember, that kids participation will be a focus at the London SUP Open, with distance and sprint racing on offer, as well introductory clinics and demos on the pool with the APP Pros.
With over 150 demo boards available to get people on the water and in action, the London SUP Open provides a truly inclusive participatory experience right at the heart of the City.
We do not have board class restrictions for the Amateur racing divisions, although we do have a max length of up to 14' for both men and women in the Pro-Am division and Pro Divisions. We will celebrate and award all divisions, and athletes should specify their board size in the sign up process to ensure that they are classed properly in the overall event results.
