Welcome by the International Fellowship of Rowing Rotarians

Rowing has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many Rotarians have also discovered this sport for themselves. Therefore, in March 2016, Rotarian friends from various Mainz Rotary Clubs took the initiative and founded the International Fellowship of Rowing Rotarians (IFoRR). In Mainz, the Rotarian friends also donated two boats, named "Rotary" and "Fellowship," to the Mainz Rowing Club of 1878. Today, more than 60 rowers, spread across all five continents, belong to this fellowship, which is officially recognized by Rotary International.

In this community, everyone can experience friendship based on shared values ​​during rowing trips and other sporting events, across national borders. The Fellowship also supports charitable projects related to rowing.

Membership is not limited to Rotarians. Anyone interested in rowing in such a transnational community of like-minded people can apply for membership and be accepted into the Fellowship. The annual membership fee is only €20.

We look forward to meeting like-minded rowers from home and abroad.
