"I participated in the 1st and 2nd editions of the Race Around the Rock, and it has been an incredible experience. The event perfectly combines adventure and endurance, making it a unique challenge in the growing discipline of coastal rowing. The community spirit among participants, volunteers and organizers creates a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. Being in the Gulf Islands adds to the charm of this unique race, making it an ideal location for such an event. Highly recommend for rowing enthusiasts seeking an adventure on the West Coast of Canada”
