The K Club becomes canoe club for 800 race-goers

THE K CLUB will turn into a water fest this Saturday with 800 canoers set to race from the famous golf and spa resort in Straffan down to Islandbridge in Dublin.


This is the 51st year of the Liffey Descent, which is 28km in total. Every year, the race starts at The K Club, which has one mile of the River Liffey running through its 550-acre estate. This year, participants will be able to get to the water directly from The K Club car park.
And we’re hoping for an Irish win. Gary Mawer will defend his K1 title – he will be hoping to take his 13th race win at the event – while Liam Banks will also defend his junior K1 title.
  • All entrants must be members of the Irish Canoe Union or National Canoe Federation
  • The best winner times have ranged from 1:35:13 in 1988 (Michael Wells, Paul Wells from Ricmond CC) to 2:13:15 (D Green & A Stanley from England)

We wish all the participants good luck – and if anyone catches a fish then take it to the River Restaurant at The K Club and we’ll cook it for you as you like it!
