Friday, November 6 at 6 PM – Saturday, November 7 at 6 PM

Join us for an unforgettable 24-hour fitness and fundraising event benefiting the CLT Foundation, supporting children with special needs and life-altering medical conditions.

We’ll keep at least one rower moving nonstop for 24 hours — but we need your help to fill the rest!
There will be 28 Concept2 rowers available for reservation in 30-minute time blocks (or more). Rally your friends, family, or gym crew and claim your spot on the rower!

Anyone Can Row and we need your help to reach our goal!

Myths vs. Facts
Nope, You Don’t Have to Be a Pro (or Row at 2 AM… unless you want to).

Myth: You have to row for 24 hours straight.

Fact: Not even close. You can row for 30 minutes or 3 hours — whatever fits your schedule. Some of us will be there all night, but we love company at 2 a.m. 😎

Myth: It’s just rowing.

Fact: We’ll also have CHAD 1000X (in honor of Veterans Day), the Bike–Row–Ski Team Triathlon, raffles, music, and even a Row & Glow Midnight Party.

Myth: You have to be a serious rower.

Fact: Bring your friends, switch out as needed, go fast or slow. It’s about community, not competition.

Myth: It’s not for me.

Fact: Everyone’s welcome — row, bike, donate, or just come cheer. Every meter and every dollar helps make a difference for local kids.

Choose Your Grind. Give Back While You Sweat.
Pick your event — Rowathon, CHAD 1000X, or the Triathlon — and help support local kids through the CLT Foundation. Every meter and every rep counts.

Rowers are available for 30-minute time slots. Secure your spot or simply show up and grab a rower if available.

Select the time slot(s) and number of rowers you would like to reserve. Enter your gym name when checking out and we will try to place you together.

Bike-Row-Ski Team Triathlon. Teams of 4 battle it out on Saturday morning for max calories in 24 minutes!

Select the time slot and enter your teammates in the additional info box.  Prizes for top teams in each division!

1,000 Box Step-Ups for Time — Bring Friends. Honor Heroes. Support Rescue 22.

Friday at 7:30 PM. Bring a vest or go without. Register and support.

Strong Like JJ
The 24 Hour Rowathon began in 2014 to raise money for the family of Jovani Joseph Maggio (JJ), a 4 year old boy diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. A tumor formed in his right lower leg and spread up to his pelvis. The chemotherapy and radiation treatments did not work and Jovani’s cancer has spread. After a grueling 12-month battle JJ passed away in his parents arms on November 20. Throughout treatment he displayed a courage that is unfathomable, never complained and died fighting to his last breath. His fight was courageous and has made an impact all over the world via friends and social media. The term “Strong Like JJ” was born.
