World Record setting team the Seagals at the Tower Bridge finish of GBRow 2010
GB Row 2013 has hit the headlines in Scotland with the latest team to sign up headed by marathon runner Mark Cooper. Read all about it in the Edinburgh Evening News.
£100,000…
That’s the huge prize waiting for the first crew who can beat the world record for rowing non-stop around Britain.
More people have walked on the moon than have rowed around the UK coast.
And if you and your team mates can row the 2,000 mile course in less than 26 days you will collect £100,000 – the biggest-ever prize in international ocean rowing – when you cross the finish line.
Calling all rowers, adventurers, explorers or anyone who wants to take the ultimate endurance challenge!
Can you row 2,000 miles through the toughest tides and busiest shipping lanes in the world, navigate firing ranges and survive totally unpredictable weather?
And if you can do it in less than the Guinness world record of 26 days 21 hours and 14 minutes set in 2005 by four Army rowers…then the £100,000 is yours.
The 2005 World Record setting team at the finish
Remember, only 8 rowers have ever been recorded as achieving this adventurer’s, explorer’s, and enthusiast’s ultimate goal – compete to complete GB Row 2013 – 1st June 2013 from Tower bridge in London.
In 2010 a team of four women, skippered by Belinda Kirk, set a Guinness World Record by becoming the first females in history to complete the 2,000-mile journey in 51 days 16 hours 42 minutes. They were racing against a team of men who were forced to give up at Lands End.
Do you have what it takes to tackle the treacherous tides, brutal weather and
dangerous shipping lanes to set a new World Record?
