This 21 km fun half marathon caps the distance rowing season in Central Canada. The marathon is a circle around Wilson Island formed by the Trent River and a backwash. The backwash is sheltered and calm rowing no matter what mother nature throws us. In contrast, Percy’s Reach on the Trent River can be challenging. Come prepared for all types of weather.

Sponsored by Quinte Rowing Club

NOTE: If you are having difficulty completing a crew, or you are the only one from your club who is interested, let me know and I will do my best to facilitate the completion of mixed club crews.

 

 

All entries will be timed, with the winning crew in each event receiving gold medallions, provided there is a minimum of two entries in the event.

As this is a last row of the season for many of us, we like to make this a >fun event= as well.  You are encouraged to give your crew an interesting name and perhaps ‘dress-up' for the event. Come prepared to have a good time.

As those of you who have participated in the past know, Mother Nature tends to provide us with additional challenges on race day. I have no idea what it may be this year, but I can tell you that right now there are no clumps of reeds jammed under the bridge, and it=s a little early to have a prediction of snow for that day
