The Return of the Cardboard Canoe Race!

The Big Paddle, taking place at Symonds Yat on the 15th and 16th May 2010 will play host to the return of the Cardboard Canoe Race, an event long absent from the paddling calendar. The event, sponsored by CKUK Magazine involves a race down a short section of whitewater in a craft constructed only from cardboard and tape, be it kayak, canoe, or other…

The race, open to Big Paddle ticket holders, will take place at 17:00 hrs on Saturday the 15th May at Symonds Yat rapids.

Prizes will be awarded for engineering prowess, style and originality, as well as performance, so if you want to race then get your thinking hat on and build yourself a lean, mean, recycled cardboard racing machine!
