The 5MilesfromHome series has come to an end, a collaboration over three separate weekends with Castle to Crane, Cork Harbour Festival & Ocean to City and Welsh Sea Rowing. The series encouraged rowers to get back into training and to compete on their own home waters, whilst knowing that they were part of a big international challenge connecting fixed seat rowing communities across the world; results came in from four continents, all participants sharing the love of being on the water.
After this past weekend of worldwide time trial racing, the winners of the Median Trophy from the Welsh Sea Rowing leg of #5milesfromhome are Broughty Ferry Youth, from Broughty Ferry Boating! Congratulations to this young crew who have rowed in all three legs of the series.
