EduJyväskylä Rowing Race Took Place on Lake Tuomiojärvi in Sunny Weather
On Monday, September 1st, a group of people gathered on the shores of Lake Tuomiojärvi for the traditional EduJyväskylä Rowing Race, organized by EduJyväskylä, where the sun favored both competitors and spectators alike.

The race was held in church boats, each with 14 rowers and a coxswain. The teams rowed a course of about five kilometers on Tuomiojärvi. The teams consisted of the personnel from each organisation.
