Registration for 2023 Ocean to City has now closed and late entries will not be accepted.

We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday 3rd of June! You will receive the final email with all necessary race information on Wednesday 30 May. In the meantime, please check the FAQ page for info. 

Important before registering:

• Make sure you have the dates of birth (DOBs) of all your crew members.
• Every boat has to be entered by a member of its own crew. The registration system does not allow people to register another crew’s boat.
• Take your time to read the Regulations and the information on Prizes & Awards, in particular about boat and crew elegibility.
• SUP participation is restricted to experienced stand-up paddle boarders and by invitation only. Please contact the office in advance of registering.
• Relay Teams: Please note that relay teams are eligible for a discount whereby any additional participants pay just 50% of the entry fee. e.g. a 5-person boat at early bird rate: 5 * €30= €150 plus 4 extra relay participants at 50% of the price (4 * €15) €60 = €210 in total. Please contact the office for a special promo code in advance of registering.
• Due to the large number of participants involved, late entries will not be facilitated.
• Accommodation: The Cork City Marathon takes place on Sunday 4 June so will be a big demand on accommodation in Cork. Book early to avoid disappointment.

* Please note that a 7% Administration Fee is applied by the Active registration system. 

Notes:

• Insurance: If you do not hold valid insurance for the Ocean to City you can buy a one-day insurance pass at €10 per person. Please note that paddlers who hold a current Canoeing Ireland membership, will be insured to participate in Ocean to City. CI will be validating your membership ID.
• Early Bird offer: A limited number of Early Bird registration deals are for sale during the first month. These are given on a first come-first serve basis.
• Charity: All Ocean to City entry fees go towards the annual organisation and safety of the event; an event which is run on a break-even basis as part of our charity Meitheal Mara. Meitheal Mara is a community boatyard and training centre in Cork City which works with youths and adults from a wide variety of backgrounds.
• Registration Deadlines: Due to handicapping there will be separate closing dates for rowing boats and kayaks as specified above.
