NRRA Youth and Masters Rowing Teams, and all supporters of
Norwalk River Rowing
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The 16th Annual Matthew Zucker Memorial Ergathon is just a few weeks away!
The Matthew Zucker Memorial Fund was established by Matthew’s parents, Barbara and Mark, in memory of their son, Matthew, an avid rower and NRRA athlete, who lost his battle with brain cancer just before his high school graduation in 1998. The fund enables NRRA to fulfill its mission of providing scholarships and equipment to young people who otherwise could not afford to row or to discover the same self-confidence, self-discipline, and love of rowing that Matthew did.

With over 700 boats entered, this regatta was more than twice the size of the Tail of the Fish, and featured crews from all over New England and New York. Fortunately, the weather was much nicer than last year, making the 2.25 mile race course not quite as daunting. (more…)

Twenty-six clubs entered 310 boats in the regatta, with 27 of those entries coming from Norwalk River Rowing.
