Fourth Annual 25k Hudson River Challenge

The first 25K Hudson River Challenge was held to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage of discovery in 1609.  Since 2009, the 25K race between the George Washington and the Tappan Zee Bridges is an annual challenge open to all experienced rowers and paddlers in human-powered boats. 
The Hudson River is known for its unpredictable water conditions and its strong tidal currents, but it is the beauty of the Palisades that will most surprise you, as you follow the western shore along the foot of its towering jurassic cliffs.

This is a marathon of a race.  The course record is 1 hour and 58 minutes, with plenty of boats coming in around 3 hours.

The date for the Fourth Annual Hudson River Challenge is Saturday, September 8
th, 2012. More details on the race will be posted later. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@riverrowing.org.
