CSRC Million Metre Challenge

I'm Sammy the Seal, celebrated River Tawe resident and Official Spokesperson for City of Swansea Rowing Club's Million Metre Day, which will be held on Sunday 6th October 2019. Over the course of 24 hours, club members and supporters will cover a combined total of 1000 kilometres (that's a million metres to you!) by a variety of self-propelled means - rowing, cycling, walking, running and erg machines. It's a huge challenge but we're confident we can reach our goal, and in the process raise much-needed funds towards some new boats for the club. Entry is open to anyone and can be secured by submitting the £10 entry fee through the Donation Button on this page - with Gift Aid added, the club will reclaim an extra £2.50 from HMRC. If you can't do the hard yards yourself, please give generously through this page and come down to the club during the day to lend your support. Starting and finishing at CSRC's base in Swansea Marina we have the beautiful Swansea Bay at our disposal. You could row up the river to the Liberty Stadium and back to cover 5000 metres (8 rowers and a cox would make that 45000!) How about walking, running or riding a bike along the seafront to Mumbles Pier and back - that's about 18000 metres. Or maybe an erg (rowing machine) challenge. It's a killer, this one - could you manage 10,000 metres? Can you row, walk, run, cycle and erg to do the Grand Slam? There will be prizes and utmost respect for competitors who cover maximum distances, as well as a prize of the oldest and youngest contributors.
