Ocean to City – Home

Ocean to City – An Rás Mór is Ireland’s very own long-distance rowing race attracting hundreds of participants annually.  Started in 2005, it has grown from its origin as a race for traditional fixed-seat boats into an all-inclusive rowing and paddling event, embracing everything from traditional wooden working boats, currachs, skiffs, gigs and longboats to contemporary ocean racing shells, kayaks, canoes and even stand-up paddle boards.

This year’s race will take place on Saturday 4th June 2022 in Cork Harbour, Ireland. Please sign up to our mailing list below to get all the updates.

Following on from the success of the international 5 Miles From Home Series organised last year by Castle to Crane, Ocean to City and Welsh Sea Rowing, we have decided to launch again for 2022. The challenge can be joined from anywhere in the world, with participants completing the 5 mile course from their home waters.

This year’s challenge will take place between April 20-24 2022 and can be joined from anywhere in the world.  Registration is now open, we really hope you can join us, get together with friends and family and take on this fun challenge together.
