AquaPaddle is a great way to get on the water and keep active. Bring a boat, paddleboard and a friend and get on the river Tees.
Register here to book your spot in this free monthly timed 5km paddle on the Tees. You must be registered before attending and bring your number with you. Full details are available on the AquaPaddle website.
We plan to have boats available to hire in the future, but for now this is a BYOB (bring your own boat) event.
We have a two-lap course, launching from the rowing steps between River Tees Watersports Centre and the Infinity Bridge in Stockton-on-Tees (TS18 2NL). Start by heading upstream sticking close to the right-hand of the river, crossing over at the Infinity Boat Club heading downstream, crossing the river again under the Infinity bridge back upstream to the start/finish line. One lap down, one more to go.
All finishers will get a time, you can try to beat this time at the next event. Try a different craft and set a time with that one instead. It’s you against yourself and the clock.
If you can’t complete both laps you can bug-out after the first, but you will be marked as DNF on the timing app.
Preferred parking is available at the Riverside car park (TS18 1TE) for free on Sundays. Parking at RTWC can get full very quickly and you will need to register you vehicle within RTWC before heading out on the water (or you will receive a parking charge in the post).
