Monmouth Rowing Club

The club is affiliated with the Welsh Amateur Rowing Association (WARA)[1] and hosts several annually organised race events.

All rowing activities take place upstream of the 17th-century Wye Bridge and during the summer are limited to the 2.25 kilometres (2,250 m) stretch of river between Monmouth and Hadnock.

During times of higher river levels, typically over the winter months, it is possible to row 9 km upstream to the Symonds Yat rapids.

In recent years a sprint regatta held over 750 metres (820 yd) has been added to the programme on the Saturday of the same weekend.
