January 2026 BARC Distance Challenge Results
35 rowers logged just 1303 kilometers in December, down from January '25 where 1556k were logged. Blame the low numbers on the weather: Fog, wind and low water levels made it difficult to get out. Bob jones edged out Anne Bertelsmann by just 1 kilometer for 1st place in January. The two logged 147 and 146, respectively. Hannes Hofer and Nigel Millard shared 3rd place with 80K. Peter Christie took 4th place with 72k, and Darian Jones and Richard Brodsky shared 5th place with 51K.
The top 5 for 2026 are:
1. Bob Jones 147K
2. Anne Bertelsmann 146K
3. Hannes Hofer 80K
3. Nigel MIllard 80k

Starting in 2006, BARC rowers have recorded their rowing outings and distances, first in a paper ledger at the boathouse, and later in the boathouse computer. The entered distances are being used for a friendly competition; those who row the greatest distance (e.g., Top 5) are recognized on a monthly basis, by way of posts to this section of our website. On an annual basis, those rowers who row one million (or more) meters (1000+ kilometers or 621+ miles) over the past year are recognized and awarded a BARC Distance Challenge Award, typically at our annual meeting. The awards vary by year, from plaques to BARC-inscribed beer mugs! All results, for all years, are available below.
