Our main focus is the Devizes to Westminster International Canoe race, an epic ultra-marathon taking place each Easter weekend. At 125 miles long, it is the longest non-stop canoe race in the world which also includes numerous locks to navigate, adding a considerable amount of running involved to the arduous paddling.
