22KM ROW/RACE FOR SINGLES ONLY
SATURDAY, AUGUST 12TH, 2023, PORT CARLING, ON

Registration Closed - Past Event

This is an epic 22km singles only race/row, open for both flat water and open water shells, with about 40% being suitable for flatwater shells and 60% better suited to open water shells - you choose:). It starts in Port Carling and follows the top of Lake Muskoka on a loop, finishing back in Port Carling. We have a video of the course from a motorboat you can check out.

What does race/row mean? It means just that: we all line up together and row hard as if we’re racing, but no one is timing you. The race part means, we’re all rowing hard to try to push ourselves for the shear joy of the torture. It’s not a Sunday afternoon paddle. In the end, we all take away our own personal experiences without having to compare times. Entry is $30.00 (inc HST). Bring your own refreshments for after and everything you need for a hard row. We’ll have safety boats on the water and will be communicating among safety boats by radio to ensure everyone is safe. It is up to you to know the course and watch the video, feel free to choose to have your phone showing a map to you during the race, but our safety boats will also be directing you where to go. The event takes place right in town which offers a range of activities all within 10 mins walking distance put on in Port Carling (restaurants, shopping, beach, playground, parks, hiking). Plan to stick around for our small local regatta right after the Poker Run. If you can handle a little fun relay after this epic row it will be a day to remember.

What shell to choose? Well - that’s up to you. We have those that think a flat water shell on this course is insane, and those that like the crazy challenge. The choice is yours - we look forward to supporting you on a memorable morning.
