To paddle from the centre of Glasgow to the centre of Edinburgh along the Millennium Link?

This is your chance to paddle from the centre of Glasgow to the centre of Edinburgh along the Millennium Link.   You can either paddle alone or work in a team of up to 12 paddlers, in Singles, Doubles or Fours, Kayaks or Canoes.

Over the years a wide range of canoes and kayaks have been used to complete the course, racing K1’s and K2’s by those looking for fast times; open Canadians; sea kayaks and even plastic river boats by those looking for more of a challenge. The Open Team Relay class allows up to 12 people to paddle in any combination of canoe and/or kayak.

The event is over two days with set stages.

Day 1 - Forth & Clyde Canal from Speirs Warf, Glasgow to Falkirk Wheel, c. 24 miles.
