East Bay Rowing 24-HOUR Row-a-thon

Local rowers and friends of East Bay Rowing will participate in a 24 Hour Row-a-Thon to raise money and awareness of the local rowing club. Over 40 participants will take 30-minute shifts, rowing on several WaterRower machines set up on the County Road side of Barrington High School - hoping to set a record for the most meters rowed in a 24 hour period on a WaterRower. Event starts Friday at 3:00 pm and continues overnight into Saturday afternoon. Members of East Bay Rowing's competitive team will be soliciting pledges throughout the week and during the event. Come try one of the machines,  cheer on local rowers and support their goals to raise funds for new equipment for this growing community rowing program. There will also be a raffle to win a WaterRower machine - $20/ticket.
