BREAKING NEWS.
Unfortunately, do to lack of entries, The Oban Sea Kayak Race will not take place this year.
This decision has not been taken lightly, by those of us who have given their time and enthusiasm to the event since 2010.
But with so few entries, so late on, we cannot continue with the 2025 Race.
For the few who have entered, we are willing to refund you the full amount, or if you wish, we can donate your entry fee to the Oban Lifeboat Station.
This event, has throughout donated all profits to the Oban Lifeboat.

The Oban Sea Kayak Race will host this great event once more.
Since 2010, we have attracted literally hundreds of kayakers to race around the beautiful Island of Kerrera.
The event has enticed paddlers from Canada, Australia, France, South Africa, Ireland, England, Wales and even Scotland!
20 kilometres of incredible scenery, unrivalled anywhere in the World.
We will soon open up an online booking system for this prestigious event.
The response to this event will help decide on its continuation as one of the most challenging, popular and amazingly beautiful Kayak races in the British Isles.

It's all up to you!
