Talisker Whiskey Pacific Challenge

The inaugural Pacific Challenge starts in June 2023 with up to 20 teams participating from around the World. The annual edition of this race will see teams starting from the historic harbour of Monterey, following the path of many adventurers and explorers of yester year. An incredible atmosphere of apprehension and excitement is guaranteed during the pre-race period as teams complete their final preparations to set off to row across the Pacific Ocean. A finish line as unique as Nawiliwili Bay on the stunning island of Kauai is hard to beat as the backdrop to what will be the most incredible, once in a lifetime adventure.

The World’s Toughest Row

An extreme series of endurance races where individuals from across the globe gather annually to test themselves against Mother Nature and compete to row thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. Each ocean offers a unique atmosphere allowing between 20-40 teams every year to gather together and absorb what will be a once in a lifetime adventure and experience.

Sleep deprivation, hallucinations, hunger and the ultimate test of body and mind will be balanced by sighting incredible marine life, witnessing the breaking of a new day and sun sets that cannot be viewed from land. Camaraderie, achievement, self-discovery and pride will be among the many experiences delivered by rowing across an ocean.

Pacific Challenge

2800 miles of temperate, volcanic ocean with the route crossing on of the most diverse and productive marine eco systems in the World. A challenging and technical route offering a full range of tests for the human mind and body.

Teams of two, three, four and five people come together in Monterey Bay, California every June to ensure their row to Kauai, Hawaii is as safe and as incredible as is possible.
