2026 Arkansas SO Row
An annual six-person team rowing fundraiser our gym hosts with Special Olympics Arkansas. Row for a reason, together.
The Arkansas SO Row is an annual event our gym hosts in partnership with our friends at Special Olympics Arkansas.
It is a six-person team Concept2 rowing fundraiser. Teams compete to row the maximum number of meters possible in 20 minutes, with only one team member rowing at a time, and teams may switch rowers however they choose throughout the 20-minute window.
Teams may register in one of four categories: All Male, All Female, Co-ed (three men and three women), or Youth (ages 7 to 15).
Each team includes a Special Olympics athlete as either a coach or a team member, making this event about far more than rowing. It is about inclusion, encouragement, teamwork, and building meaningful relationships within our community.
Teams raise funds by finding sponsors who pledge either a dollar amount per meter rowed or a single donation toward the team's rowing effort. All funds raised through sponsorships go directly to Special Olympics Arkansas and are tax deductible.
We love that both our gym and this event represent the same thing: people working together, side by side, toward a shared goal. The Arkansas SO Row lets us challenge ourselves physically while celebrating inclusion, serving others, and strengthening relationships across our community.
Benefiting Special Olympics Arkansas.
