The CSM 10 km Friendly is a fun event for ONEC members which is held on the Saturday before the longer Canadian Sculling Marathon events (21 and 42 km). The 10km Friendly event is free to existing ONEC members. Guests are asked to pay a small one-day ONEC membership fee to cover the insurance requirements.

This event is open to scullers of all levels and open to all shells. Come in a single, join up in a double or quad. The challenge is to row around Kettle Island in your best time. The start time is generally 8 am on a Saturday in late August.
