Row the Cape Fear – Online Event!

From the Cape Fear River Rowing Club, row up the largest river in North Carolina to the finish at Mermaid Point. And do it from the comfort of your own gym or your own water as a single or as a team.

Date: January 1, 2027 – February 12, 2027 (6wks)

Hosted by: Cape Fear River Rowing Club

Single competitors: To enter, simply train your phone camera on the QR code, fill out the form and you’ll receive a link via email to log your distances.


Team competitors: First, pick a name. Then pick a captain (leader, great kahuna, big cheese or grand poohbah). The captain will enter and pay first. That person will be sent a login link for the team. The other members then sign in and pay the entry fee. The captain will share the one link, and everyone’s distance will be added together.


The cost? Only $20 per person.


When does it start? Jan. 1 and continues for 6 weeks.


At five points along the Cape Fear, you will earn a beautiful badge to mark your progress. Those who finish the 191-mile challenge will receive a personalized certificate and our gratitude for participating in our fundraiser.
