Whitewater Rafting

1 May 2008 to 30 September 2008, United Kingdom

Raging rapids, cascading waterfalls and nail-biting competition - all this and more could be yours by taking part in one of our unique whitewater rafting adventures.

This year the MS Events Team are organising a series of trips down various whitewater rafting courses across the UK and what's more we are offering you and your team the chance to take part for free*, simply by raising the minimum sponsorship amount.

*Subject to terms and conditions


Q & A


Are there any restrictions on age or health?
You do not have to be an athlete to go rafting but you should be reasonably fit, feel confident in water and be aged between 14 and 65 (those under 18 will need parental consent). Most centres have weight limits of 17st apart from Nottingham where the weight limit is 14.5st. Those who are pregnant or under the influence of alcohol or drugs should not take part and those with asthma, epilepsy, diabetes or a heart condition should consult their doctor; if you have any doubts at all about your suitability you should consult your doctor.

What about insurance?
The company operating these events (Skyline Promotions) have their own insurance, but this does not cover you for personal injury. Should you wish to take out additional cover for personal injury you can either arrange this through your own broker or directly with Skyline Promotions on 0870 345 8000.


How do I book my place?
Simply download the booking form, complete and send it to the MS Events Team. Please note you must also include a team booking deposit of between £360 and £455 (depending upon which centre you are rafting at). This deposit can be taken out of your minimum sponsorship money.
