The Big Chill

We are delighted to be back at Burton Sailing Club on Foremark Reservoir for this winter event.

SAUNA & COLD PLUNGE AVAILABLE DURING AND POST-EVENT!

Post-event contrast therapy. Book a 50-minute wood-fired sauna session and warm up properly after The Big Chill (who wouldn't want that in the depths of January?!)

Sauna and cold plunge sessions are available to everyone attending, whether competing, spectating, or part of the crew.
