Venue: Liverpool Docks, a historic and iconic waterfront location, provides a unique and dynamic environment for the GBSUP Liverpool SUP Festival. The enclosed docks offer calm waters ideal for paddle racing, set against a stunning backdrop of maritime heritage and modern architecture. The event will be headquartered at the Liverpool Watersports Centre, serving as the central hub for race control, check-in, and briefing. Additionally, activities for novice and new paddlers, coordinated by Liverpool SUP Co, will take place at the north end of the docks, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere across the waterfront.

Event: The GBSUP Liverpool SUP Festival, proudly presented by Black Project, is a multi-discaplin event featuring Technical and Distance races as part of the 2025 Black Project x GBSUP National Paddle Racing Series. While Sprint Tech races will also take place, only the Technical and Distance events contribute to the National Series standings. Beyond the competitive racing, the festival includes a wide range of activities for novice and new paddlers, fostering participation and growth within the SUP community. This promises an exciting and engaging experience for all participants, spectators, and those new to the sport.
