Gage Roads Join AMRC 2026

Gage Roads Joins AMRC 2026 as Après‑Row Partner

Rowing WA is pleased to announce Gage Roads as the Après Row Partner of the 2026 Australian Masters Rowing Championships (AMRC), to be held in Western Australia in May 2026.

The partnership brings together two organisations that share a strong connection to water, community and the moments that matter beyond the finish line. From early mornings on the lake to long days supporting teammates, the AMRC experience naturally extends into relaxed, social moments — and that’s where Gage Roads fits best.

Born on the WA coast, Gage Roads has built a reputation around good drinks, good people and good times, making the brand a natural addition to a nationally recognised event that celebrates connection as much as competition. As a WA-hosted national championship, the 2026 AMRC provides an opportunity to showcase a proudly Western Australian brand on a national stage, while enhancing the social fabric of the event in an authentic and considered way.

The partnership will see Gage Roads involved across key social touchpoints of the championships, helping to bring people together after the racing, while aligning with the outdoor lifestyle, community spirit and shared experiences that define both the AMRC and the Gage Roads brand.

Rowing WA CEO, Daniel Tackenberg, said the partnership was a strong cultural fit for the championships.

“The Australian Masters Rowing Championships are about more than racing — they’re about connection, community and the shared experience of being on the water. Gage Roads understands that balance perfectly. This partnership feels natural, authentic and very Western Australian, and we’re excited to have them as our Preferred Après Row Partner for AMRC 2026.”

Kate Weekes, Gage Roads Brew Co National Sponsorship Manager said the championships align strongly with the brand’s values and audience.

“The AMRC represents everything we value — active days, open air, community and the moments that bring people together once the effort is done. Being part of the 2026 AMRC allows us to connect with a passionate community in a way that feels genuine and true to who we are as a WA brand.”

The 2026 Australian Masters Rowing Championships will welcome competitors, supporters and officials from across the country to Western Australia, delivering four days of racing, reconnection and celebration — on and off the water.

The 2026 Australian Masters Rowing Championships will take place from 27–30 May 2026 at Champion Lakes Regatta Centre, welcoming competitors and supporters from across Australia to Western Australia.

Organisations interested in partnering with the 2026 Australian Masters Rowing Championships are encouraged to get in touch with Rowing WA to explore tailored partnership opportunities aligned with this nationally recognised event.
