The event aims to celebrate accessibility in sport and ensure that no child feels excluded from taking part.
A child from East Park School will begin the journey by carrying the relay baton from Cerebra's fibreglass boat to a group of paddleboarders, starting its journey across more than 40 counties to Windsor.

Highlights include a stop at Ibrox Stadium for a penalty shoot-out with Rangers mascot, Broxi the Bear.
The baton, designed by the Cerebra Innovation Centre, will be carried by participants using wheelchairs, frame runners and adapted surfers.
It reaches the finish line at the Parallel event in Windsor on July 6.
The baton will pass through towns and cities, engaging thousands of people in a celebration of accessibility and inclusion.
