Rowing and Sculling for Rowers and Scullers

Be a part of row2k!

Dear Friends,
If you enjoy row2k, row2k needs you.

If you enjoy and rely on row2k, we need your help to be able to keep doing all this. Though row2k sometimes looks like a big, outside-funded operation, it mainly runs on enthusiasm and grit; we are really just a small group who love the sport, drive long ways to regattas, stand in the rain to cover races, stay up all night to get it all posted, repeat. Help us keep it coming, thank you!
Your fellow rowers at row2k
