The continuous challenge will begin at 6.00pm on Friday 23 October and finish at 6.00pm on Saturday 24 October at Fearless Fitness & Coaching, 21 Rosnashane Road, Ballymoney, BT53 7LA.

Rural Support helps people experiencing mental health pressures, financial concerns, isolation, loneliness and bereavement. Demand for its services continues to grow, making community fundraising essential to ensuring support is available when people need it most.

How to take part

Participants can book a 20-minute rowing slot, raise sponsorship and represent their organisation during the challenge. Clubs and groups are also encouraged to join a friendly fundraising competition, share the event with their networks and invite supporters to attend, donate or cheer on participants.

Organisers hope the event will bring the rural community together, increase awareness of the pressures people may be facing behind the scenes and demonstrate that support is available.
