THE FORMAT
SIMPLE FORMAT
BIG IMPACT
01
FORM YOUR TEAM
Six rowers per team. You cover the relay in shifts, no one rows for 24 hours straight.
02
ROW YOUR BLOCK
Two team members row each hour for 10 minutes. Your team covers two 2-hour blocks across the event.
03
COMPETE FOR PRIZES
While two people pull, the other four compete in a bonus workout. New workout, new prize, every single hour.
04
GO HOME. COME BACK.
The commitment is manageable. The cause is everything. Together, the machine never stops.
Every hour. A new workout. A new prize.
Only the non-rowing team members are eligible, so while two people pull, the other four compete. Every hour is a fresh chance to win.

THE CAUSE
EVERY METRE
MATTERS
Every metre rowed raises money for head and neck cancer research and support. We're rowing for the people who are fighting it — and for the ones who will be.
4%
of all cancers in Australia are head and neck cancers with significant impact on quality of life and an urgent need for ongoing research.
