2nd Annual NRRA Community Challenge

Post-ComCha Summer Rowing- $225

We have created specific programs for ComCha graduates so you can finish the summer in fine style.  Note that your ComCha boats won't be maintained, it's time to make new friends and maybe learn a new skill (sculling vs. sweep).  All the folks that sign up will be mixed together each day in new line ups with fresh ideas.
  • Session I: Tuesday/Thursday 6-7:30am
  • Session II: Monday/Wednesday 6:30-8pm
  • Session III: Tuesday/Thursday 6:30-8p

Bring a check to your first row or register here online:
