Nominations open: Row Nation Relay at ARC26

As a part of the ARC26 Off Water Event Series during the Day 5 lunch break (Friday), we will be running a opportunity to sit side by side with the Rowsellas in a fun erg relay challenge.

Get in on the Action!

There will be 10 RowErgs situated in the spectator zone, where teams of 4 compete in a 2,000m team relay. The event will be live on the big screens for everyone to cheer along.

Students will be put into teams made up of 1 male Rowsella, 1 female Rowsella, 1 male student, and 1 female student. Students will also have the chance to talk with the Rowsellas and get photos.
