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.

BARC used to frequently publish newletters. Before the internet and Social Media, this was the method with which the Club communicated with its members. Below, you can view archived StrokeWatch newsletters from January 1994 through 2009, and a brief revival in 2015.
