Old Enough To Row Better
The Atlantic Challenge
Every December
Teams from around the world converge in San Sebastián, La Gomera, for the ultimate ocean race. The race village buzzes with energy as crews make final preparations, united by a shared goal—to push their limits and row 3000 miles across the Atlantic to Antigua, embracing the challenge of a lifetime.
We are a team of five people passionate about rowing. Four of us have been coastal rowing for years with our eyes set on the horizon, longing to row an ocean. We are all endurance rowers. When we take part in the Atlantic Challenge crew memebrs will be over 50 or in our 50th year when we take part in this challenge. Our oldest crew member will be 60. Our mission is to support and promote health, fitness, and bold new challenges for the over-50s and beyond. This Atlantic row isn’t just an ocean-crossing—it’s a powerful statement that life after 50 is full of potential, adventure, and strength. Through this extraordinary challenge, we aim to break stereotypes, spark conversations, and inspire a generation to embrace active, purposeful living. By sponsoring us, you’re not just backing a world-class endeavour—you’re joining a movement that empowers people to chase new horizons, no matter their age.
Our team members are from the North West (Stoke, Congleton and Conwy) and we row in the sea off the coast of North Wales. In December 2027 to January 2028 we will be rowing from La Gomera near Tenerife to Antigua in the Caribbean. Your support will enable our crew of 5 to attempt a new world record as the oldest mixed crew of 5 to row the Atlantic.
