Solo or as a team

It is possible to participate in the event solo or as a group (4 people maximum). In both cases, each participant will have their own paddle. Then, there will be a lottery to determine the individuals and teams selected to participate. 

 

During the draw at the end of the pre-registration period, by registering as a team, if the team captain is selected, then all team members will be able to participate in the race. This choice allows you, if you are selected in the lottery, to be sure to experience the race alongside your loved ones.

 

Note that the race is run alone, everyone on their own board. The "big mamas" (boards that can hold 4 to 6 people) are only allowed for the partners of the race.

 

Registration fees are 85 euros including VAT per participant.
