About us

On 27 November 2022 the 45th edition of 'The Hell of the North' will be rowed on the Eemskanaal in Groningen. The 'Hell of the North' can be witnessed from the eastern and -western bank of the Eemskanaal. This pursuit race is organized since 1975 by the Groningen Student Rowing Association 'Aegir'. The 'Hell of the North' owes its name to the distance and the harsh November weather conditions in which the race is often rowed.
