<\/a>The\u00a0hordes\u00a0will hit Cutters Wharf, Stranmillis, at 12pm on Sunday 6 May for the annual event.<\/p>\nNSPCC community fundraising manager, Paul Montgomery, said: \u201cOver the last 12 years, teams of 10 have invaded the Lagan in Viking long-boats to test their strength, speed and endurance, while making a difference for vulnerable children and young people in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we prepare to recruit adventurers for this expedition, sponsored by Cutters Wharf and Barefoot Wine, you are invited to take your place for a raucous day out marking Belfast\u2019s Titanic year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Battle against the\u00a0clock\u00a0to be the winner of your category, with the two fastest teams going head-to-head for ultimate glory.<\/p>\n
Paul continued: \u201cWe rely on public support to help us continue our work with some of the most vulnerable children in Northern Ireland. Together we can help shape a society where abuse doesn\u2019t go unchallenged, where children are empowered to seek out help, and where every call for support can be answered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Team members must be aged 18 or over, and teams can be male, female or mixed (with no more than six men in a mixed team). The entry fee, to be raised through sponsorship, is \u00a3200 per team of 10, or alternatively raise \u00a3400 and receive a T Shirt and tuck into lots of delicious barbecued food and accompanying drinks as a reward for your exertions!<\/p>\n
