Thank you to everyone who competed, volunteered and umpired at our Great Ouse Marathon. The conditions were perfect and we hope you had a great day. We look forward to seeing you all next year #gom2024#greatousemarathon24
Delighted to be on duty as @BritishRowing umpire to support Isle of Ely Rowing Club today. Perfect conditions for @IOERC Great Ouse Marathon over 22km... looking forward to a great day of competition. More rowing in Cambridgeshire – wonderful!
Thank you to all at @IOERC and West Norfolk RC for today's Great Ouse Marathon and to all visiting Umpires and competitors. Two entries and two wins to kick off our season. A superbly run event.
Due to a road traffic collision please avoid Lynn Road (A10), Littleport between Mildenhall Road roundabout and Brandon Creek, also Ten Mile Bank due to delays and closures. Thank you.
This year, there were some fantastic projects going on to help make rowing more accessible.
The 2023 Rowing Project of the Year is @EAYouthRowing, after their commitment to providing rowing experiences for state school students in deprived areas 👏
One of our juniors, Dominic Jones, has been awarded a life-saving certificate from the Royal Humane Society for performing CPR on a jogger near the club. They've made a recovery as a result @BritishRowing Safety Advisor presented the award
UPDATE: The committee have assessed the river conditions and weather forecast and decided to proceed with the Isle of Ely Head race tomorrow (5 November)
Thanks for supporting us. We want to proceed with the race but the safety of everyone involved is our main concern. Updates will be posted on Sat 4 Nov after 9.30 am on our website https://t.co/MorLK6a2DV, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). Thank you, Ely Head Race Committee
IMPORTANT NOTICE: We are monitoring weather & river conditions in advance of Sunday's race. Given current conditions we intend to run Sunday's race. On Saturday at 9.30am we will make a final decision on whether it will be safe to run our event.
