We are incredibly excited to announce Northampton Community Rowing's (NCR) second annual “Row for the River” fundraiser, which will take place on September 14th, 2025.
We are eager to build on that success by raising $40,000 this year in support of these important causes:
The Connecticut River Conservancy's mission for clean water, healthy habitats, and resilient communities throughout the Connecticut River watershed; NCR’s inclusivity initiatives to provide income-qualified youth scholarships and recreational access to the Connecticut River, connecting people, river, and community for participants of all ages and abilities.
Rowers from NCR and partner clubs will launch from the Hatfield Boat Ramp in Hatfield, MA, embarking on a scenic 10-mile course along the Connecticut River. The event will feature a variety of boats, from singles to club 8+s. We invite all rowers to join in this celebration of community, conservation and river connection.
THIS IS NOT A RACE! The event will be leisurely and fun, and rowers of all levels will be able to participate comfortably. The row will take approximately 2 hours to complete. Safety launches will accompany our boats along the course.
