Buckle up for one of the most anticipated SUP races in the UK! The last SUP The Creek Flatwater race was back in 2019, for many it was a challenge as the weather threw everything at us, wind, rain, chop, headwind, downwind, flat and a few turns! This challenge is what makes the event unique compared to other ‘flat water’ races and one eagerly anticipated to be back in the race calendar.

The race team and support boats have been working hard to deliver SUP The Creek and to ensure that the race that is fun, safe and challenging to varying competency levels so that there is something for everyone!
