The Race
Holding the title and reputation of the World's Toughest Row we and other teams from across the world set to row 3,000 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean in 2025.
Each year throws different conditions from rough seas of 40ft waves, freezing to scorching temperatures or maybe even some marlin strikes. But we all experience the cramped living conditions, no privacy, sleep deprivation and blistered hands and bums.
But for some reason we could not think of anything better to be doing! Alone on a boat in the ocean, nothing to do but row from A to B; to feel so small in this world is rare and we can't wait to experience it... We are ready!
Why are we doing this?
Many reasons really, with our backgrounds in rowing thus being exposed more to this great race from the likes of Ben Fogle and friends from the rowing community, the love for the ocean and adventure. But, we are both united in wanting to see the physiological affects on our bodies and minds. The challenge the row brings with that constant battle inside of how we are going to tackle the row. We want to test our bodies, both physically and mentally, both intrigued at the battle of mind and body through Beth's needs for endurance racing and Jessica's for the unnatural motions of jumping off things. We want to understand how physiology are impacted by extreme pressure, harsh conditions and limited sleep.
This also links into our charity, The Wave Project. A charity dedicated to improving the mental health and wellbeing of young people through the power of surf therapy.
Through our partners, we are also looking for another charity or research project to support within environmental, physical or mental awareness.
