Providing a venue where athletes of all ages, talents and backgrounds have the opportunity to develop their rowing ability to their highest potential.

The Mercer Indoor Row for the Cure was successfully held on Saturday, March 4th at the Peddie School. The event raised almost $4,000 to support breast cancer research and local breast cancer support groups.


Thank you to all the rowers, coxswains, and coaches who joined the event in person and virtually. Thank you to all who donated to the event in the fight to end breast cancer.


Congratulations to everyone who participated!

We are still accepting reservations for a limited number of ergs available for sale.


All units are sold AS IS and will be available in late March or early April 2023. All machines are 2.5-3.5 years old and are Model D with a PM5 monitor. They are $725. PNRA will cover any minor maintenance or small parts replacement.

Boating Safety Class

We are looking for more people to drive launches for referees at our events this spring. Driving for referees gives you the best seat on the Lake for watching races.


A prerequisite for driving a launch is to have a Boater Safety Certificate. PNRA will be offering a class to get the Certificate on Sunday, March 26 from 10am-6pm.


If you are interested please contact Hilary.
