King's Charity Marathon Ergo

ErgoAfter last year's marathon ergo success, the Rowing Club decided to bring their efforts together to attempt a charity ergo marathon with a twist, getting as many members of the club and supporters on the rowing machine as possible. With each competitor rowing between 200-600 metres at a go, The King's school marathon row of 42,195 metres was covered in a very competitive time of 2 hours, 29 minutes and 48.3 seconds. Although this hasn't broken any world records, it was great to see over 100 current pupils at the rowing club take part as well as coaches, the Deputy Head and Headmaster of the School. In total £63.14 was collected for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd from spectators who were at the club to support the School's pudding races. Money was also collected for Movember during the morning, the charity which raises money for the fight against prostate cancer.
