Grow The Row 48 Hour Ergothon

Get ready to witness endurance, teamwork, and determination like never before!

As the University of the Western Cape Rowing Club, we're thrilled to announce our 48-Hour Ergothon –

an epic indoor rowing challenge where participants will row non-stop in shifts for two full days.

This is not just a test of physical strength; it’s a celebration of unity, community spirit, and resilience.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or simply someone who loves supporting a

good cause, the Ergothon promises excitement and inspiration for everyone.

Crews will rotate around the clock on rowing machines, pushing their limits, and keeping the chain moving from start

to finish.

Each stroke we take represents our dedication towards a greater mission. Proceeds and

donations raised during the event will go towards sending our crews to represent UWC at the Boat

Race in Port Alfred and for operational costs of running the club!

WHY IT MATTERS:

Rowing is more than just a sport - it teaches perseverance, leadership, and collaboration. Attending

the Boat Race is a major opportunity for UWC’s rowers to compete on a national stage.

It contributes to the development of the club and the overall transformation of rowing within South Africa.
