ANZAC Day Challenge 2025 – Row 2504m for Remembrance

Row 2504 Metres for Remembrance

Honour Their Legacy with Every Stroke

On Thursday, 25 April 2025, join the rowing community in completing the ANZAC Day Challenge — a symbolic 2504-metre row in honour of those who have served.

Spanning from sunrise in New Zealand to sunset in Perth, this cross-Tasman tribute brings together individuals, clubs, and communities in a unified day of action and reflection.

How to Participate

You can take part in one of two ways:

Option 1: Complete the Row Nation Workout

Complete the official ANZAC Day 2504m session via the Row Nation app.
Your result will be automatically submitted to the national leaderboard.

🔗 Start the workout

Option 2: Manually Submit Your Effort

Whether you're rowing solo, with friends, or at your club — every metre matters. Submit your row manually to be counted in the national totals.

Row, Share, Remember

Post a photo or video of your row using the hashtag #ANZACDAYERG.
Featured posts will appear on the ANZAC Challenge live page throughout the day to inspire others to row and reflect.

Support the ANZAC Appeal

Participation is free, but we encourage everyone to support those who served.
Donations go to the ANZAC Appeal, providing vital support to veterans and their families.

➡️ Make a donation

Track the Challenge Live

Throughout the day, the live leaderboard will show:

  • Total distance rowed across all entries
  • Number of 2504m efforts logged
  • Top performing clubs and states

Why 2504 Metres?

The distance is a simple but powerful symbol of the date: 25/04.
It’s long enough to challenge, short enough for all levels, and grounded in purpose — a reflection in motion.

Let’s Row With Purpose

From sunrise in New Zealand to sunset in Western Australia, let’s row together in remembrance, unity, and gratitude.
