The Journey

The World’s Toughest Row Pacific Challenge is a 2,800 mile  race to row unassisted from Monterey, California to Kauai, Hawaii. With just three rowers and eight oars, our journey will take weeks at sea, years of training and preparation, and over one million dehydrated calories!

The Mission

We’re doing more than crossing an ocean. Our team is proud to be raising funds and awareness for Athlete Ally and Doctors Without Borders; two non-profits working relentlessly and without discrimination to ensure the health, safety, and rights of all people.
