Mark Williams Ergatta

The Mark Williams Ergatta is more than an indoor rowing event—it celebrates fitness, community, and perseverance. Proceeds directly support the Mark Williams Scholarship Fund for Lake Lanier Rowing Club youth rowers who have financial need. The LLRC team wants to remain accessible to all youth in the North Georgia region, and events like the Mark Williams Ergatta enable us to do that. Scholarship funds help offset the cost of semester dues, competition expenses, and uniforms for recipients. Every entry helps support our youth rowers.

Here's what to expect:

• Rowing Events for All Levels: From Masters and Junior competitors to Open events, the competition offers opportunities for athletes to shine at every stage of their journey.
• Open Team Relays: Local fitness gyms and functional fitness groups compete head-to-head to test strength and endurance, rowing for pride and bragging rights.
• First Responders 911m Event: A unique, high-energy 911-meter event where firehouses and other first responder teams compete for the title of North Georgia’s strongest.
• Cancer Survivors and Supporters Event: A non-competitive event celebrating the progress and resilience of individuals impacted by cancer through their participation in rowing.
• Awards: The top three competitors in each event will receive medals for their efforts.

If you cannot compete, please consider donating to the team to help us further our mission! Every donation helps us reach more youth athletes and enables our youth rowers to travel to races across the country that they could not without your support.
