Get excited for this year’s amazing event! The Amazing Row will take place on Saturday, August 10th (rain date Sunday, August 11th), and will be a round-trip 26k between RBC boathouse and Pittsford boathouse. There will be a party/picnic following, at the RBC boathouse, celebrating our 10-year anniversary! We’re thrilled to be welcoming our friends from the western NY masters rowing community — the more, the merrier! We encourage those unable to attend in person to make a donation to the club instead, or to sponsor a rower who might not otherwise be able to participate.
Registration is open through July 28th, so that we can coordinate boats, seats, coxes, one-way rows, etc. We’ll do our best to accommodate late registrations, but encourage everyone to register early!
T-shirts are also available for pre-order until July 26th. We will have only a limited number of shirts available for purchase on the day of the event, so please pre-order to secure this year’s shirt beautifully designed by our own Laura Marino!
