Rainbow Races 2026

Join LORC at 2pm on Saturday 17 October at Royal Docks Watersports for the 9th annual LORC Rainbow Races!

Every year, the London Otters invite rowers from all over the UK to race 500m down the Royal Albert Dock in support of a local LGBTQ+ charity. In 2026, we will be donating the proceeds to Microrainbow, who provide safe housing, integration and social inclusion support for LGBTQIA+ refugees and asylum seekers. Entry is a £5 donation.

We are proud to partner with Dockside Cafe, who will be donating 20% of all sales on 17 October to Rainbow Races! Microrainbow will also be joining us at the Royal Docks to accept additional donations.

When: 2pm - 5pm, Saturday 17 October 2026
