Rowing 4,800 km across the Atlantic ocean.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.”

Nelson Mandela, at the Laureus World Sports Awards in 2000

The World’s Toughest Row Atlantic is an unassisted, 3,000-mile rowing race across the Atlantic ocean; one of the toughest challenges on earth.

The conditions and the weather are extreme. Teams battle with sleep deprivation, salt sores, and physical extremes. Rowers have nothing but their own grit, determination, and strength to get the boat safely to the other side.
