The London 2 Paris Rowing Challenge is a unique and highly demanding endurance race between two of the world's greatest cities, using matched boats, contested every two years between teams of twelve people.  Will you be among them in 2010?

The race route goes down the Thames, across the English Channel, and then up the Seine from Le Havre to Paris, finishing opposite the Eiffel Tower at Pont D'Iena.  Completing the course takes approximately a week, and covers a distance of 420 nautical miles.

The race is organised by a team headed by well-known adventurer Jock Wishart.  Jock led a team that rowed from London to Paris in 1999, and has been involved in organising endurance challenges for many years.  His most recent major accomplishment was the successful completion of the fourth Polar Race in 2009.
