3rd Annual Million Meter Row

The million meter row is a fairly new tradition for NCSU Crew, originally created for fundraising for the Fall Semester of 2004. It went so well that we decided to extend it to an annual event. The basics of it are pretty simple. The team rows until we reach one million meters collectively. The event is a two day event in the Brickyard, running from 6am to 7pm each day. There are three rowing machines being used to collect the million meters. The time is broken down into 30 minute shifts, where some rowers rowed as many as 5 shifts per day. The distance of one million meters has significance in the fall season because that is very close to the distance that it takes to get to Boston, where the largest regatta for the head race season is held. The event also serves as our largest on-campus recruiting event.

We Reached The 1,000,000th meter with 10 minutes prior to our goal time!

Beautiful weather both days made this year's event such a success!

We still have several t-shirts left! Send us an e-mail if you're interested!

We Rowed over 1.2 Million Meters in 2005!

Due to rain on the second day, the event was moved under Harrelson Hall.
