WELCOME TO RACE 2 THE JUNGLE

Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th December 2026

Kanchanaburi, Thailand

Race 2 The Jungle is the hot, tropical cousin of Race 2 The Castle.

Locks give way to palm trees. Newark Castle is replaced by jungle and the Trent Basin is swapped for towering tropical mountains.

What doesn’t change? The unmistakable R2TC atmosphere, the crew, the organisation, the attention to detail… and the legendary after-party. This time, we’re doing it with our Thai family at SUP Hire Thailand Co Ltd, bringing local expertise, jungle knowledge, and true Thai hospitality to the experience.

You want a new finish line?

Alongside our event, we also host a unique jungle adventure holiday for those who want to take their Thailand experience further. Race 2 the Jungle takes place during these holiday dates, allowing you to combine both experiences into one Thailand adventure.

There is also the option to join our 7-Day Adventure, designed to fully immerse you in the River Kwai region either before or after the event weekend.

Explore Thailand through paddling, adventure, culture, and jungle experiences — a complete journey both on and off the water.
