Amazing Row / Amazing August!We will again offer a hybrid event this year, with both an in-person single-day Amazing Row and a multi-day Amazing August. The Amazing Row will take place on Saturday, August 20th (rain date Sunday, August 21st), and will be a round-trip 26k between RBC boathouse and Pittsford boathouse. There will be a party/picnic following the Amazing Row. For Amazing August, your participation will be to cover the same distance (26k) as the Amazing Row in whatever manner you can, between August 1st and August 20th. You can erg, row, run, walk, swim, bike, kayak, whatever works for you.
