Four mates, one small boat, and 3000 miles of ocean.

WTR 2026

We’re rowing the Atlantic Ocean to challenge ourselves mentally and physically, to support each other and raise money for causes close to our hearts.

The World’s Toughest Row begins in early December every year, attracting teams from around the world. We will gather in San Sebastian de La Gomera, Canary Islands and (we hope!) dock in Antigua, Caribbean approx. 40 days later.

Chosen charities

We are aiming to raise over £150,000 for Breakthrough T1D (type 1 diabetes), The London Irish Centre (community support), VeloSano (cancer research) and the Army Benevolent Fund (supporting soldiers, veterans, and their families).

 Corporate Partnerships

We plan to fund the race costs through corporate partnerships of all shapes and sizes. The race has extensive media coverage and sponsors will profit from this exposure,
as well a host of other benefits.
