ANZAC Day Challenge 2026: Row 2504m for Remembrance

ANZAC Day Challenge 2026

Row 2504 metres for remembrance

On Saturday 25 April 2026, join the rowing community in completing the ANZAC Day Challenge, a symbolic 2504-metre row in honour of those who have served.

From the first rows in New Zealand to the final efforts in Western Australia, this cross-Tasman tribute brings together individuals, clubs, and communities for a shared day of movement, reflection, and remembrance.

How to take part

There are two easy ways to participate. Choose what suits you.

Option 1: Complete the Row Nation workout

Complete the official ANZAC Day 2504m session in the Row Nation app. Your result will be automatically counted on the live leaderboard.

Option 2: Row anywhere and submit manually

Row at home, in your gym, or with your club. Every effort counts.
Submit your result on the ANZAC Challenge page:

Row, share, remember

If you’d like to share your effort, post a photo or short clip using #ANZACDAYERG.

Selected posts may be featured on the live challenge page throughout the day to show how we moved together in honour and unity.

Support the ANZAC Appeal

Participation is free. If you’re able, we encourage you to support those who served.

Donations to the ANZAC Appeal help fund support for veterans and their families.

Track the challenge live

Throughout the day, the live leaderboard will show:

  • Total distance rowed across all entries
  • Number of 2504m efforts completed
  • Club and community totals
  • National and cross-Tasman results

Why 2504 metres?

The distance represents the date 25/04.

It’s long enough to be meaningful, short enough to be accessible, and deeply symbolic, a simple physical act of remembrance on a national day of reflection.
