Row for Westborough 2025

Row for Westborough 2025: Community, Competition & $25K Raised for Our Student Athletes!

We launched Row for Westborough with one goal in mind: to bring people together and row for something bigger than themselves. This year marked the 6th Annual Row for Westborough, where we came together once again to raise funds in support of our local youth athletes and programs right here in town.


Through the combined efforts of our incredible participants, sponsors, and community, we’re proud to share that we raised just under $25,000 to benefit Westborough Athletic & Social Association (WASA) and the Westborough Boosters. These funds will directly support the development of local athletic programs, youth coach education, and financial aid for families who need it most.

The Day at a Glance

Over 300 people showed up throughout the day to row, cheer, eat, and celebrate the community we’ve built together.


The event kicked off at 10 AM with the Adult Division, where parents, coaches, and community members teamed up to tackle a 25,000-meter relay row. The Youth Row followed, and energy stayed high all day with live music from SNG, vendors, food trucks, raffles, and a Youth Combine where kids competed in mini fitness challenges.

Mark has been an amazing member, friend, and a huge part of our community for over 10 years. With his family now training at Prototype as well, he continues to share his journey and inspire others. Thank you for being you, Mark—you truly deserve to be our October POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype My experience at Prototype is now, and always has been over the last decade plus, incredibly positive! What’s made it even more special over the recent years is my family now being part of the community, and being positively impacted by the environment that Prototype creates. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community, the relationships, and the positive impact Prototype has had on me and my family over the years. Some of my best friends are now at Prototype. Relationships that have been developed over years of doing tough workouts together, competitions and events inside & outside the gym, golf trips and get togethers. The youth programs and remote coaching programs have also allowed my family to be members of the community which is incredibly important to my wife and I. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? Pretty much anything outside. But lots of golf, hiking, and sports with my kids. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? This would be a long list! One example would be dealing with setbacks. I’ve learned fitness is a long journey, not just a one size fits all fix. There's lots of turns and detours on that journey. Being here for so long my body and my abilities have adapted over time. With all the different things Prototype has to offer, and coaches that are so committed to the members, I’ve continued to be able to find a path forward regardless of the set back of change in my abilities. Another example would be resiliency. Stay on path isn’t easy, especially when that path seems like it never ends. Through Prototype, and side programs I’m part through Prototype, I’ve been building the resiliency muscles which has had a huge impact on my personal health & life as well as my professional life. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? -Continue to do hard things. Put something in the calendar each year that kinda scares me and I have to work toward. I want this to be a physical and mental challenge. -Rebuild the strength in my legs, and work towards squatting again. This may require a setback, but something I really want. -Build more muscle! 6.) Favorite Quote You want to go fast, go alone. You want to go far, go together!

Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our September POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype I first found out about Prototype through my high school soccer team and was super interested in it. I subsequently joined with a few of my teammates and have continued to train with them. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I love having a community that is always there to help me out, answer any questions I have, and offer support. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I play soccer for Westborough High School and Bayside FC, I also train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and am a black belt in Krav Maga. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Through Prototype I have learned so much about the relationship between training and recovery, which has helped me to perform my best consistently! 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? Through Prototype I am pairing soccer with conditioning training and recovery to try and improve physical fitness and performance in the game. 6.) Favorite Quote “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” Wayne Gretzky - Michael Scott (the Office)
