Have you been inspired watching the crews take to the river?

Race head to dragon’s head along the River Severn in Shrewsbury. You can snap up a boat for £425 and be on your way to the most exhilarating event for 2026. But, be quick – only a few spots left on the water!

Each team gets a HQ tent for the day and every crew member receives a bespoke medal to remember their oarsome day – as well as awards for top fundraiser, best fancy dress and the ultimate title of 2026 Dragons champion; a mix of time on the river and fundraising.

Crews must raise a minimum of £1,250 in sponsorship (excluding entry fee) per boat and we have all you need to start your fundraising journey today.

FOR COMPANIES; If you require an invoice, please email fundraising@severnhospice.org.uk PRIOR to booking online.

Venue: Pengwern Boat Club, Kingsland, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY3 7BD
