Highlighted events are organised by LKR.

The club is based in Linlithgow, West Lothian and concentrates on the sport of flat water kayak racing. This is split into two disciplines.

Sprint kayaking is an Olympic sport with races over 200m for women and men, 500m for women and 1000m for men.

Marathon racing takes place in divisions, decided by ability. The distances raced vary by age and performance.

The club includes adult members and juniors, developing both technique and fitness. Club members compete at both Scottish and British level with several of the club members training with the Scottish Development Squad.

Training sessions take place on Linlithgow Loch on Monday nights, meeting at the Low Port Centre. Thursday evening training is at the Linlithgow Canal Centre.

We also build fun nights into the structure of the club and occasionally borrow play boats from the Low Port Centre on training evenings, organise Club BBQ's, Weekend trips and River trips.
