Helping Trent Rowing Club grow within the Burton on Trent sporting community
Blades, Boathouse and Belonging
Rowing is often seen as a sport reserved for the elite, but Trent Rowing Club has always stood for something different.
For over 160 years, we've challenged the idea that rowing belongs only to private schools or those who can afford expensive memberships. We're here to prove that talent, dedication, and teamwork matter more than background.
NEW FUNDRAISING EVENT
Trent Duck Race
Hosted at Trent Rowing Club Boathouse - Saturday 4th April at 10am
The Trent Duck Race is a fun, family‑friendly event bringing together local businesses and the Burton community for a fun race on the River Trent.
Participants sponsor a duck and cheer it on as it gently meanders down one of Burton’s most iconic natural landmarks. It’s a simple, joyful event designed to celebrate our river, our town, and the people who use and care for it.
RACE A DUCK FOR ONLY £25!
On the day, ducks are released into the river and spectators line the bank to cheer them downstream. Families, businesses and supporters enjoy the riverside atmosphere as the race unfolds at a relaxed and accessible pace.
Once the race is complete, everyone is invited back to the Trent Rowing Club boathouse for hot drinks and refreshments.
