2022 is ‘Down Tow’, so the route will begin in Marlow before winding its way along the Thames and finishing in Windsor.
With spectacular views and plenty of vantage points along the way, this event is great for newcomers and seasoned pros alike.
A pre-race coach transfer is available from the finish (Alexandra Gardens, Windsor) to the start (Marlow Rugby Club). Park your car at the finish prior to the event, take our coach to the start and have your car waiting for you when you cross the finish line.
Further information with respect to the logistics and times of these transfers will be communicated closer to the event but places must be pre-booked, on the day requests will not be available. There are no transport options provided after the event.
Event merchandise is available for purchase during registration for delivery by the following weekend when ordered by Sunday.
All of our events are organised following government and governing body COVID-19 guidance. We will continue to ensure that we deliver safe and enjoyable events.
Entry on the day will be subject to availability and a £5 surcharge.
