What is Row 4 Dough

What Is Row 4 Dough?
Row 4 Dough is an exercise fundraising event benefiting the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois. This event challenges participants to join a team of 5 people to row a 1/2 marathon on Lake Mattoon. Participants can use a Paddle Board, Kayak, or Canoe, but only kayaks will be provided on site. There is a $50 fee to participate. 100 % of the proceeds benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois Region I.

Starting at the Lake Mattoon Beach, teams of 5 rowers/paddlers will race to complete a half marathon rowing distance with each member of the row team consecutively completing 2.6 miles. Join in the fun by dressing in team costumes, creating a sea-worthy team name, and bringing your beach chairs!

After the event participants enjoy lunch and beverages prior to an award presentation. All participants registered receive a Row 4 Dough shirt.
