Take part in the Great British Rowing Weekend!

As the summer Olympic Games once again turn the nation’s eyes to our sport, people up and down the country will have the chance to get in a boat and see what makes rowing so special.

On 7-8 September, rowing clubs will be hosting a weekend of fun activities to showcase the best of rowing, from give it a go sessions to round robins, erg competitions and more.

Clubs will also have the chance to run activities as part of The Big Row – Love Rowing’s annual fundraiser. This year we’re rowing the distance from Paris to Los Angeles (the host cities for the 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games, of course) and clubs who raise over £500 for adaptive and inclusive rowing programmes will be able to claim half of it back for their own activities!

We’ll be supporting clubs for the Great British Rowing Weekend with:

  • Promotional materials, including bunting, posters and wristbands
  • Session plans and ideas
  • A nationwide marketing campaign to drive the public to participating clubs.

If your club is planning activities, let us know here, and we’ll get back to you with more information!
