Row for Something Bigger
42,000 meters. Teams of 4. One week.
This isn't a workout — it's a reason. Every meter you row raises money for 37,000+ Florida kids.
The official charity rowing challenge of GROW Healthy Kids.
ROW4GROW42K is a team rowing challenge covering marathon distance — 42,000 meters — completed in teams of 4 during event week September 21–27, 2026.
You split the meters however you want. The only requirement: you row it together, and every meter means something.
Every team either registers for $200 or fundraises that amount for GROW Healthy Kids — a nonprofit connecting 37,000+ Florida kids to movement, health, and opportunity.
Complete your 42K anytime during event week. Join a live gym event on 9/26.
4 people. Any fitness level. Name your crew, register as a team, and choose how you'll split the 42,000 meters. There's no wrong way to row.
September 21–27. Complete 42,000 meters as a team — at your gym, at a host gym, or wherever you row. Track your splits and climb the leaderboard.
The live event day. Gyms run heats, leaderboards go live, the energy is real. This is where the challenge becomes a moment you'll remember.
Hosting ROW4GROW42K is plug-and-play. We handle everything. You bring your community and run the heats on Saturday, September 26.
