Powerboaters, come and join the party!

Just as powerboating is looking for a welcome boost from venues and sponsors, BladeRun announces 30 fully paid-up competitors, the backing of the City of Rotterdam - BladeRun is one of the feature events of Rotterdam's summer initiatives, which include the Tour De France - and a sponsorship deal with Hilton Hotels.



The three-day powerboating rally will start on the New Muse, passing under the stunning Erasmus Bridge as the boats head towards Antwerp, then onto Ostend, before returning to Rotterdam and a homecoming party for 2000 people. Featuring top international DJ's from the USA and Europe, large-scale themed parties feature on all three nights as the BladeRun organisers generate interest amongst a range of audiences.

Though the BladeRun experience is more about adventure, camaraderie and fun than speed and power, several international powerboat racers from Belgium, Germany and the UK have already signed-up, with more expected to follow.

"We would welcome the involvement of more racers from across Europe as this will further boost the international aspect of the spectacle." explains the event promoter. "They will be greeted warmly by participants and spectators and party animals are especially welcome."

The event begins on Wednesday 14th July, returning to Rotterdam on the afternoon of Saturday 17th.
