Welcome to the Norwich Aqua paddle

A free 5k timed route for paddlers for you to improve your personal time and boost fitness and wellbeing

The AquaPaddle charity aims to help people’s mental wellbeing and physical health through paddle sport and by organising this 5k route for you today.

We would encourage you to donate to the charity by texting 5AQUA  70085

Big shout out to all our volunteers today! If anyone is interested in volunteering please see below to join the WhatsAPP community group.

This is a 5k timed route however your time is not at the expense of your fellow paddlers on the water with you today. Please look out for each other, help each other if anyone takes a dip and have a great time!

The route -

You will travel through the fine city of norwich all the way to new mills yard where you will turn, head back through norwich to the premier inn before then coming back to the picturesque finish of BishopBridge

Along the river are some of the aqua paddle volunteers there to help and guide.

After the initial set off - please try to paddle on the right side of the river and go careful to avoid any obstacles such as the lovely overhanging willow. The river is still open to other river users.

First aid kit and defibrillator  are held here at the start if anyone needs medical attention.

When you come through the finish line please stick to the right so we can check you off.

We would love as many of you to join us at the end here where the REDLION have been kind enough to let us use their premises and there is tea coffee and cold refreshments also available.
