Clipper Race

We are delighted to announce that the Clipper Race is not only returning to Portsmouth this year but also that Gunwharf Quays will be hosting the start and finish of this amazing race!

The event will be celebrating two milestones – the 25th anniversary of its first departure from the city (for The Times 2000 Clipper Race) and 30 years of training people to cross oceans and sail around the world.

Partnering with Gunwharf Quays on the event, the Clipper Race will run a four-day festival from 28 August, taking over the venue and its surrounding waters, culminating in a grand departure for the competing teams on 31 August.

Building on the success of its last event in the city (in 2024), the Clipper Race hopes to bring an even bigger number of domestic and international visitors to Portsmouth.
