In December 2020 a group of four Royal Marine Commandos will take on one of the world’s toughest challenges – both physically and mentally – as they row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean for charity. They want to raise awareness of the mental health issues amongst their comrades and reach out to those who are suffering in the hope they will get the help they need and not suffer in silence. They want them to know, it's ok not to feel ok. Up to 30 teams from around the world will gather to take on the premier event in ocean rowing. The race starts in San Sebastian in La Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain (28oN 18oW) and teams row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to the finishing point in Nelson’s Dockyard, English Harbour, Antigua & Barbuda (17oN 61oW). The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge brings together teams from all walks of life united by the same challenge – to take on the unique challenge of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a rowing boat. Teams battle with sleep deprivation, salt sores and physical extremes inflicted by the race. Rowers are left with their own thoughts, an expanse of ocean and the job of getting the boat safely to the other side. Our mission is to complete and win The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge 2020 in the minimum amount of days possible in order to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charity. We are aiming to raise as much as possible for The Royal Marines Charity and Rock2Recovery to enable them to continue providing vital support to serving members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families. This challenge would be impossible without our generous sponsors. Find out how your company could benefit from supporting our team to take on one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges.
