REGATTA: Race Around the Rock (Salt Spring Island)

Race Around the Rock hosted by Salt Spring Island Rowing Club. 

Location: Salt Spring Island

Race Around the Rock is an epic 88 km coastal rowing endurance race circumnavigating Salt Spring Island. Open to experienced rowers in Coastal 1x (solo), 2x, and 4x/4x+ boats, it challenges crews to take on open water, changing conditions, and the full scale of the island’s coastline.

Crews can race as a single lineup or relay between six shoreline waypoints, combining strategy with next-level endurance. It’s tough, tactical & totally unforgettable.

This is coastal rowing in its raw, real form: currents, crossings, and long stretches of open water —throw in a playful West Coast summer vibe, a social atmosphere, and a finish line full of stories and hard-earned accomplishments.
