David and Jon take on the
Devizes to Westminster Canoe challenge

On 6th April 2012, Kids Inspire Supporters Jon King and David Nixon are competing in the longest non-stop canoe race
in the world to raise money for Kids Inspire.

The Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race starts in Devizes, Wiltshire and finishes just downstream of Westminster Bridge in London, opposite the Houses of Parliament. The race has been held annually over the Easter Weekend since 1948. The race is 125 miles long and has 77 portages. The first 52 miles are along the Kennet and Avon Canal, the next 55 miles are on the River Thames and the final section is on the tidal portion of the Thames.

The race is a severe test of skill and stamina which produces a memorable sense of achievement for those successfully completing it. The non-stop version of the race is the longest non-stop canoe race in the world. Jon and David have entered as a senior double and are already hard at work training.
