Do you have what it takes to complete a 2000 mile ultra coastal row around GB mainland non-stop and unassisted? We've started planning for GBRow 2020. This is the ultimate rowing adventure – could you be in it?
Dom Mee, seasoned British adventurer:
'GB Row represents the ultimate rowing challenge for competitors. The treacherous British coastline demands the very best in team work and technical navigation ability. A bad decision can put a team on the rocks losing everything. A good decision can take a team miles ahead of the fleet but in the complex weather and currents of the UK coastal area positions can change on a daily basis. Only the best will make it to the finish. Only the extraordinary will win. Forget the Americas Cup, this is a modern day Viking challenge that will push men and women to breaking point both mentally and physically in their quest to be crowned the champion'.
