ABOUT GHRC

Greater Houston Rowing Club (GHRC) promotes and provides competitive and recreational rowing for all ages in the community, fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, fitness and camaraderie. 

 

Founded in 1988 by 5 rowers, the organization continues to grow. The volunteer-based group offers clinics and instruction for beginning rowers, competitive opportunities for its members, and access to GHRC boats and equipment.

 

Throughout the year we sponsor members at regional and national races. Locally, we host a “Learn to Row” USRowing national event in the community where anyone curious about the sport can come and give it a try. In addition, we participate in Keep Sugar Land Beautiful events by organizing creek clean-ups on Oyster Creek.

 

We’ve hosted workshops on boat rigging and led a charity mini-regatta benefiting a local shelter for families in crisis.  Participating in corporate and community health and fitness fairs and providing in-service instruction for the Fort Bend ISD physical education department, we encourage a healthy lifestyle for all ages.

 

For years GHRC was based in a compound of shipping containers near the Sugar Land Cancer Center at the intersections of 59 and Oyster Creek. In 2006 the GHRC began the process to build a new boathouse upstream from the containers. The boathouse is a result of collaboration between Planned Community Developers, First Colony Community Association and the Greater Houston Rowing Club. The 4,800 square foot building houses GHRC programs and equipment as well as First Colony Community Association sponsored water recreation programs. (more about us)
