MKRC Boatathon 2014
On 5th May 2014 a team of 10 crazy members of MKRC have set themselves a challenge of running the MK half marathon carrying a boat and oars.They are not only doing this for the personal challenge but to raise money for a greatly needed rowing Eight for the club. This will benefit all members of the club both male and female as it will ensure that both the men and women can train in 8s simultaneously. It will also increase resources available for the Learn to Row training courses, increasing membership capacity and inevitably the sustainability of the club.
So lets get behind the team;
Lou, Louisa, Heidi, Trish, Nick, Tim, Benn, Gavin, Steve B & Chris
The half marathon course is through the streets and parks of MK ending in the MK Dons stadium. The event will be watched by thousands of people including local press, radio and TV.
