In a remarkable display of skill and endurance, Tom Sharpe and Anoushka Freeman emerged as the victors of the 2024 Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race, marking a historic win as only the third mixed crew ever to clinch the title. The race, known for its grueling demands, was particularly challenging this year due to adverse weather conditions that led to a curtailed course, finishing at Teddington lock instead of the traditional Westminster endpoint.

We are thrilled to share the news of our club members who recently competed in the National Canoe Marathon Championships 2023, held in Norwich. Our paddlers demonstrated exceptional skill and determination, with standout performances from Freya Peters, who secured the K1 U23 silver and senior K2 silver medals, and Owen Chisholm, who was crowned the U18 Junior Men’s Canoe champion.
