Annual Vero Beach Rowing Erg-A-Thon

VERO BEACH, FL – Vero Beach Rowing is growing! The number of young athletes participating in our youth programs continues to grow and they’re achieving incredible successes regionally and nationally! 

 

On November 16, VBR invites the community to its annual Erg-A-Thon where teams of youth and adult rowers will all collectively relay row 42,195 meters – the equivalent of a 26.2-mile marathon – on erg machines. Hosted by VBR’s high school athletes, this annual event raises money to support VBR’s annual scholarship program, introductory summer camps, Wellness on the Water initiatives and necessary equipment updates.

 

This year’s fundraising goal is $50,000. To donate to this worthwhile effort, visit verobeachrowing.networkforgood.com/projects/232256.

 

Anyone interested in supporting the Erg-A-Thon or learning more about VBR can attend the event to cheer on the athletes and tour the VBR Boathouse from 8 a.m. to noon on November 16. The VBR Boathouse is located at 310 Acacia Road, Vero Beach.
