The Cork organisers of the Ocean-to-City Race are going worldwide. They have launched the ‘5 Miles From Home’ Virtual Challenge for September 2-6. Taking part is simple, they say, offering a worldwide entry option!
Wherever in the world you may be, take part by joining us from your home waters, with participants completing the 5-mile course from all over the world. Registration is open until Wednesday, August 26! Put your training this year to good use. Most types of human-powered coastal craft are eligible to enter, and we'll use the same handicap system to calculate the results.
Entering the Five Miles From Home event means you will be part of a big international challenge connecting boating communities from across the world. "We are aiming for the event to be as inclusive, adaptable and enjoyable as possible! We already have entries from St.Ayles Skiffs, Stand Up Paddle Boards, Canoes, Runners, Teifi Skiffs, Celtic Longboats, and many more", organisers say.
