Row the Coast 2026

We're rowing the coast of Maine!

Goal: $11,194

Ends May 23!

Help us support youth rowing!

Maine has the 4th longest coastline of all 50 states, 5,597,000 meters from Kittery to Calais. We are attempting to row that coastline on our rowing machines to raise money for the Megunticook Rowing junior program. All our participants — students and adults — are rowing meters and trying to raise $2 for each coastal kilometer. That’s $11,194 altogether! If we make it, we can help get students and coaches to the races this spring and fall, and keep our program affordable for all. Donate today to inspire the rowers.

To see this effort in action, come to the PenBay YMCA on Saturday, May 16th from 10–2pm. We will wrap up the effort at the Dirigo Sprints, the Varsity team's last regatta of the season. Come see the action on Megunticook Lake, Saturday, May 23rd.
