The Canadian Sculling Marathon is held in late August. It is a fun, participative event stressing endurance. Usually, it is 42, 21, and 10 km on the Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers, but in 2018 it was a 65.5 km row from Ottawa to Montebello on the mighty Ottawa River and in 2020 it went virtual by necessity due to the global pandemic and was one of only a few Rowing events in all of Canada that year - Supported by Rowing Canada & Row Ontario.
FULL & Half marathon challenges - An endurance challenge for scullers
Since 2005, the rowing section of the Ottawa New Edinburgh Club (ONEC) has organized an annual distance challenge using touring, coastal, and open water shells on the Ottawa River: the Canadian Sculling Marathon (CSM). Inspired by the world-renowned Canadian Ski Marathon, it stresses participation, fitness, endurance and fun!
