About
A new location for 2024 and the first in The North East. AquaPaddle Stockton is based on the amazing River Tees above the tidal barrage, meaning that there is plenty of space for all paddlers to get involved.
The route is two laps of the course, starting from outside River Tees Watersports Centre (RTWC) heading upstream, turning downstream once you pass Infinity Boat Club, head downstream turning under the legs of the Infinity Bridge back up to RTWC and once more around the course.
