This is the seventh National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships (NJIRC). The annual contest – which attracts junior rowers from all over the UK – is taking place at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre, with competitors expected to do battle on 80 indoor rowing machines.

Units have committed to collectively row 24900 miles (miles around the world) on static rowers - kindly supported by British Rowing Clubs , as part of a bid to raise money for the charity’s new ship appeal, find out more about the Rowathon challenge or donate here
