WORLD RECORD TIMES AND AN AMAZING 2019 RACE!

Many thanks to all the 46 teams who took part and everyone who came to support and cheer them on. With wonderful weather and a superb atmosphere, the 2019 race final was a fitting end to a memorable day.

Bevan Bodgers (Rupert Bevan Ltd) came out the winners of an amazing final, just pipping W R Davies Warriors to the finishing line. And in a World Record time of 4mins 47secs!

With beautiful weather, a good crowd, on both sides of the river, were treated to some great racing and some not so great too (the record for the longest heat was also broken)! Safety support was needed quite a few times, but effortlessy managed by Adventure Consultancy. The Rapid Relief Team contributed brilliantly with great food and refreshments. Thanks too to all the Macmillan volunteers.

Bevan Bodgers also won the Best Fancy Dress Prize too! Making it a great day for the Rupert Bevan team.
