Guess Our Finish Time – Win Cash Prizes💸

We’re inviting YOU to predict when Team Hometown Row will arrive in Antigua local time (AST) after rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic.

This is a skill-based competition – not a lottery. You’ll need to research our route, average speeds of similar teams, factor in conditions, and convert to Antigua’s local time.
