2025 Erg-a-Thon

Our annual Erg-a-thon will take place on Sunday, November 9, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Rock on Northwestern's campus.

Our fundraising and meter goals are $10,000 and 1,000,000 meters. Our fall novices have brought lots of excitement to practice and growth to our program. We can’t wait to have our whole team participate in this annual tradition. 

The Erg-a-thon will be streamed on YouTube using Northwestern Crew’s Youtube channel. (Livestream will start November 9 at 9:00 A.M.).

This year’s Erg-a-thon will fundraise for our spring training trip to Oak Ridge, TN. Our on-campus presence (8 ergs at the Rock!) will also help to re-crew-t new teammates and expand our presence on campus. With erg challenges and races during our Erg-a-thon, perhaps “yanking some chain” will appeal to some passersby!
