About Us

Maidenhead Rowing Club sits on our own beautiful stretch of the River Thames and offers outstanding facilities. Our large, modern clubhouse includes:

●      A top-quality, well-maintained racing fleet with a rolling annual replacement budget

Our adult membership is growing rapidly, particularly within our competitive senior squads, which now have ambitious targets.

Our Masters section are also seeking to expand their wins at local regattas as well as compete at events such as Henley Masters. Our recreational rowers are also motivated to improve technically and physically, with many seeking to step up their training.

MRC is a sociable, inclusive and welcoming club where athletes of all levels are encouraged to push their boundaries and reach their potential.
