Border Rowers
Kon Tiki Challenge

Border Rowers...our next challenge is recreating the voyage of the Kon Tiki in 1947. The 101 days challenge mimicking their voyage from Callao, Peru to Raroria Reef, 6,912,000 meters

​

Our Challenge will begin on February 8, 2025 at Noon Boston time and will go 101 days to May 19th, 2025 at Noon.  Rowers will be asked to row roughly 5,700 meters per day in teams of up to 12.  This is going to be hard!  You can have teams that are smaller, but it will mean a lot more meters

​

The cost will be $65 for US Citizens and $75 for international as you will be awarded  a medal at the end that need to be mailed.

​

I will be providing bi-weekly updates and insights into the voyage...usually on Monday.  WhIle I encourage you to row as hard as you can, this is a challenge not a race, though we do give those exceptional rowers some attention. 

​

You can use any rowing machine or meters obtained from rowing on the water.  If you don't have a rowing machine and only have a spin bike, you can still join, but your meters count for half.  (spinning is faster)

​

If you don't have a team, I can assign you onto a team.

​

Best of luck!
