Introducing TEAM 4 – GREAT BRITAIN
A dedicated squad united by one mission: to represent Great Britain in the One Water Race, push their limits, and reach the lighthouse together. Since January 2024, they have been training relentlessly for this extreme challenge, where endurance, strategy, and teamwork will be the key to success. The goal is not just to compete – they want to grow, learn, and develop as a team.
I have never started anything that I did not know I would be able to finish. Until I started thinking about OWR.

This race has a combination of many factors which appeal. The in out nature of the race, the terrain, the swimming in the dark and the teamwork element of the race and all that whilst becoming more and more exhausted.
