AIRO26 results are final

AIRO26 results are final

AIRO26 ran from 00:00 AEDT on Saturday 24 October 2026 to 11:59 pm AEDT on Sunday 1 November 2026. Results are final. The Row Nation app could link an entry with a competitor code.

The AIRO26 app-update guidance specified version 1.0.19 or later.

During the event, you could race AIRO26 fully within the app. Once your entry is linked, open a race card, connect your PM5 and choose “Row this”. Row, then save your result to send it to the event. You could check the leaderboard from that race card too.

An app update is a poor thing to discover with your feet already strapped in.

What’s in the update

In the latest update:

• AIRO26 race hub: Find your race cards and progress together after linking your entry.
• Live race display: See the key race number and progress while you row, including relay legs.
• Leaderboard links: Open the relevant event board from a race card inside the app.
• Workout displays and setup: Read workout and rest figures in either orientation, with an interval-count option for workouts where you choose when each rest ends.
• Workout save protection: See unsent workouts and retry status, with a prompt before leaving an unsaved row.
• Connection and support help: Get clearer PM5 guidance and messages when loading or playback fails.

Leaderboards and share cards

During the event, you could follow your place through “Leaderboard” on each race card in the app. On the web, follow race results, school and club standings or relay results. Under the repeat-attempt rule, only the best valid result counts on the leaderboard.

On the web race results, the sharing options are “Share”, “Copy link” and “Download card”. During the event, you could share a link to your result or download your card there as results were published.

Your first row is not your only row

It’s easy to treat an event row like a single shot. You wait for the right day, the right sleep, the right warm-up. Then the right day doesn’t come, and the row keeps sliding down the week.

The AIRO26 rules allow repeat attempts, with the best valid result counting on the leaderboard. One approved lightweight weigh-in covers all attempts.

Nine days on your clock

The window ran from 00:00 AEDT on Saturday 24 October to 11:59 pm AEDT on Sunday 1 November 2026. That second time was when rowing and result submissions closed.

Rowing from outside eastern Australia? Convert both times to your own clock now, while it’s a calm sum and not a Sunday-night scramble.

Read the rules

The rules page carried everything this note left out. Age was taken as at 31 December 2026, not on the day of the row, so competitors could check their band there. Entry details were covered there too.

A rules question is easy to answer on the couch. It’s much harder halfway through a 2K.
