We're sorry to say but at this point we’ve decided to postpone the Rowing Challenge that was scheduled for next month. We will be moving it to June/Summer, as hopefully COVID numbers won’t be so troublesome at that time. We want this to be an event that is safe as possible, and we feel this is the best decision at this time.

We promise to share future details as soon as they are available. The summer event will be even more fantastic!

Thank you for your patience. We are itching to host this event and appreciate your continued support!
