Filming, editing and scoring by Jake Purse – Huge thank you from all the PPP organisers and participants.
Ride on roads in the city of Winchester and surrounding countryside.
Kayak on the River Itchen, kayaks and buoyancy aids supplied by the organisers.
Run along the Itchen Canal.
The event is chip timed, but the transitions between each stage are NOT included in the overall time.
This is set by limits on the number of participants in the kayak stage at any given time, due to respect for the river.
This is a not for profit event. The registration fee covers the costs to stage the event which are Chip Timing, Scaffolding, Kayaks and Buoyancy Aids, Insurances and Licences, Audio Visual, Medals and T-shirts, Loos and Bins.
We suggest participants use their entrance in the event to raise money for causes they care about. This is optional!
All participants will receive a T-Shirt and Medal on completion on the event.
Participant doing all three stages
£45
Multiple participants do a stage each

The organisers are part of the Winchester Round Table family which comprises four member groups.
Ladies Circle (a group for Ladies aged 18-45), Tangent (Ladies 45+), Winchester Round Table (a group for Men aged 18-45) and 41Club (men 41+).
If the event raises more than costs incurred, Winchester Round Table family is raising money for motor neurone disease association (MNDA) which is a life-affecting disease impacting the lives of our members, and we will donate funds raised to the MNDA and Winchester Beacon.
Ethical Activities is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company Social Enterprise, based around three principles, Safe, Fun, Learning.
Founded by the two directors who met on the River Themes and later lived and worked together at an activity centre in the New Forest, they set out to do business differently.
They realised that the outdoors isn’t free for everyone, and many people face barriers to access it, so they created Ethical Activities CIC.
With Tom in the New Forest and Stu in Devon, they drive to deliver Safe, Fun, Learning Experiences, Instructor Training, Technical Advise and Organisational Operational Guidance, as well as making access to these activities and courses, achievable for people that need it.
They run some highly successful programmes, such as Carvers Kayak Club in the New Forest, a local kayak club in partnership with the local community centre for young people, which is free to access. The main objective is to reduce antisocial behaviour, engage young people with the outdoors positively, and help build a community of young people to develop the local area. This has been hugely successful and continues to grow every year.
None of this would have been possible without the support of the Winchester PPP.
The partnership between the PPP and Ethical Activities, where the PPP own the kayaks and safety kit while Ethical Actvities store and maintain it year round, allows the not-for-profit company to focus on reducing other barriers for people to access the outdoors.
