Welcome to Rainier Valley Rowing

Inspiring young people to push their limits, expand their opportunities, and become healthy and engaged members of their communities

More than 70 people took on the challenge of the Row Around Mercer Island - and together RAISED OVER $5000!

 Despite bad weather that forced all crews to turn around before the island, 10 boats rowed a ton of meters, and raised a ton of money, to support rowing opportunities for students who face barriers to accessing water recreation. This event was envisioned, led, and executed by a team of volunteers and a community of passionate rowers. Kudos to all!

                    The water wasn't quite what anyone hoped for....             But everyone finished happy            And RVR'ers were there to say congrats!

Fours, Quads, Eights, and even an Oct went out!

Congratulations and BIG Thank You's go out to crews from the following clubs:

Pocock Rowing Center

Mt. Baker Adult Crew

Ancient Mariners

Montlake Rowing Club

Martha's Moms
