INTRODUCTION

The annual Monmouth Raft Race is organised by St Davids Hospice Care and supported by the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) and the Rotary Club of Monmouth,

The 59th Monmouth Raft Race will be held on Sunday 6th September 2026. 

The raft race is a fun afternoon on the river. It starts at Noon at Monmouth Rowing Club (Just off the A40 at Monmouth) and is paddled over 6.5 miles down the beautiful River Wye to the finish at Tump Farm, Whitebrook, (courtesy of the Cullimore Family) where there is a Family Festival of  entertainment and ample refreshment opportunities

Why not ask your employer, or pub landlord, to enter a raft on your behalf. Constructing a raft and taking part is a great team building activity. Lots of fun for you, good publicity, and in support of a very worthwhile cause.

All sponsorship monies received from persons taking part in the Monmouth Raft Race will be donated to St David’s Hospice Care 80%) and Monmouth Rotary Club (10%), and S.A.R.A. (10%)

St David’s Hospice Care is a Gwent based charity providing care at home, free of charge, to patients who have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness.
