Clyde Muirshiel's Race 2 the Games took place on Wednesday 2 July 2014
The Race: As part of the celebrations in the run up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park (CMRP) organised a Sailability ‘Race to the Games’. This challenging race for people with disabilities covered 33km from the open waters of the Firth of Clyde through the narrow channel of the River Clyde into central Glasgow.
The Route: The race, in Access 303 sailing dinghies, will start at James Watt Dock, Greenock and finish at the Glasgow Science Centre. There was opportunities for partners and sponsors to follow the race from the water on a large motor cruiser, high powered RIBs or a variety of smaller safety and support boats.
The Reception: At the finish line Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park hosted a ‘Taste of Scotland’ reception for competitors, partners and sponsors.
The Legacy: Sponsorship raised from the event generated legacy funds and resources for the further development of disability sport at CMRP’s Sailability Centre for Excellence. Specialist equipment and training opportunities will be provided in sailing, kayaking and cycling for those with additional support needs.
