The Celtic Challenge is the world’s longest true rowing race where teams race from Arklow in County Wicklow, Ireland to Aberystwyth on the Welsh coast, a distance of about 90 nautical miles. Fingal Rowing Club are excited to participate this year with all funds raised to be divided equally between the Irish Cancer Society and Childvision! 

Each team doing the Celtic Challenge consists of 12 people who take it in turns to row, we have 3 crews and each crew will row for an hour on and an 2 hours off for the duration of the challenge.

The race is an extreme test of endurance and generally takes between 15 and 24 hours, depending on the weather. The race usually starts in the afternoon with all teams rowing throughout the night and sometimes arriving in Aberystwyth very early in the morning! The race happens every 2 years and last took place on the first weekend of May 2017.

This year, 2019, the challenge will commence between the 3rd to the 6th of May.
