About us
On 22 November 2026 the 49th edition of Hel van het Noorden ('Hell of the North') will be rowed on the Eemskanaal in Groningen. The Hel van het Noorden 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 Hel van het Noorden owes its name to the distance and the harsh November weather conditions in which the race is often rowed.
