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.

RACE FACTS

The row can take up to 60 days depending on conditions. We are going for the World Record of 35 days.

We will each row 2 hours on 1 hour off, 24 hours a day, until we reach Antigua.

We will face Atlantic storms with waves measuring up to 20 feet high.

We will need all the necessary safety equipment on board to deal with any situation. 

We will be burning 6000 calories a day. We will need 1500kg of food on board to keep us fuelled. Plus 10 litres of water a day, each.
