The popular event – one of two major events hosted by Portadown Boat Club in the Rowing Ireland calendar – is always an exciting day of activity on the river with rowers from far and wide taking part, along with many supporters enjoying the spectacle.
There has been rowing on the River Bann at Portadown since 1877, making Portadown Rowing Club the oldest active sporting club in the town.
