THE CHALLENGE
The World's Toughest Row is an extraordinary endurance rowing race and the most prestigious event in ocean rowing. The challenge covers 3,000 miles with no support, starting from La Gomera in the Canary Islands and ending in English Harbour in Antigua and Barbuda.
Competitors from around the world gather to test their limits against the power of the Atlantic Ocean in the World’s Toughest Row. The race brings together teams from diverse backgrounds, all sharing the goal of crossing an ocean in a rowing boat.
We are using this challenge to raise awareness about the importance of both physical and mental health by supporting our selected charities. The goal is to inspire and motivate people to live an active life. Your support is essential for the success of our campaign.
Although it won't be easy, we are determined to break the world record of 35 days. This journey will involve sleep deprivation, salt sores, and physical challenges for the competitors. Rowers will face solitude, the vastness of the ocean, and the responsibility of safely reaching the other side as quickly as possible.
