A raft run like no other

Great Strait Raft Run 2025

It is with great regret that the Menai Bridge Great Strait Raft Run committee have taken the decision to postpone the 2025 Menai Strait raft run for this year.

As you can imagine it takes a huge amount of time and effort throughout the year and on the day to run the event and we rely heavily on local people and business to support the event.

Unfortunately, reduced entries and a significant reduction in our advertising and sponsorship revenue not only makes it hard to run the event but also has a detrimental effect on our main purpose, the ability to raise money for our local worthy causes, and this has led us to take this regrettable decision.

The good news however is that next year will see the Bicentenary of the Telford Suspension bridge and it is our promise to the people of Menai Bridge that we will be back, bigger and better for 2026!

The Great Strait Raft Run is an important event in the local calendar, so we won't be going away! Look out for us at various events throughout 2025 as we drum up support for next year.

So once again a huge thanks to all of you who have supported us over the years, we look forward to seeing you again in 2026 when we will be back with the Greatest Raft Race in North Wales, a local event supporting local causes!

Endeavour! Fun! Fundraising!

Held annually on the majestic waters of the Menai Strait. The spectacular backdrop of Snowdonia’s mountains and the Isle of Anglesey’s natural beauty contribute to the uniqueness of this fun and challenging day of rafting and raising money for good causes.

Starting from the old slate port of Felinheli rafts proceed past historic Plas Newydd and on towards Porthaethwy (Menai Bridge). En route passing beneath the iconically spectacular engineering and structural feats that link Anglesey to the mainland - the Britannia and Menai bridges, built by Robert Stephenson and Thomas Telford; and navigating the notorious and occasionally demanding Swellies.
