This unique challenge pits your boat against the attending GB Rowers who will be laying down a target time over 250 metres but don't worry your boat of three will have one of the GB Rowers to help you beat the time on your two-timed sprints. 

Meet at a boat club in Henley where you will be welcomed by the GB Rowers who through the entertaining Q and A, will debrief the Tokyo Regatta and give you an insight to what it takes to reach the highest levels in the sport of rowing. You will then be introduced to life as an elite rower. If required, initial coaching will be done on the rowing machines where advice on techniques will be given. Then to the boat shed where the boat familiarisation will take place. 

THE CHALLENGE IS THEN LAID DOWN: 

After the Q and A, the rowers will take to the water and do a 250-metre timed sprint. 

Beat the Medallist: 

• The GB Rowers will set a time on the day. 
• You also get to set a time on the day. 
• Your 'impossible' task is aided by accruing time bonuses through your fundraising. 

You will have two 35-minute trips on the water complete with a GB Rower in each boat and each boat crew will have a short training session on the water followed by the first of two-timed sprints, each with a different GB Rower. Of course, if you lose you can blame them! 

Throughout the experience the chance to talk all things Olympic with the athletes and if you are already a keen rower you can drain them for tips and advice! Additional guests are welcome to watch proceedings throughout the day and to attend the Q and A and photo session with the rowers. 

How to gain time bonuses and give yourself a chance of beating the GB Rowers:

You get bonuses of 0.50 seconds for every £100 donated over the entry fee. You are already half-way there - £50 of the sign-up cost goes towards your bonuses. 

The GB Medallists will be in touch pre-event to outline how you can get friends, colleagues, and family to help generate more time bonuses to support you and our good cause. As for the day itself, spectators are welcome and its open to rowers aged 13 years and above.
