Children in Need Row 2026 Appeal Day
The Great Pudsey Push: Salford versus London
As part of The Great Pudsey Push, teams in Salford and London will go head-to-head in a special relay rowing challenge for BBC Children in Need.
Led by rowing legends and BBC Director-General Matt Brittin, joined by BBC colleagues and familiar faces, each team will work together to row 100km in the fastest time possible.
With each participant doing their bit, we can prove that when everyone contributes, extraordinary things can happen! Let’s push our limits to support children and young people in communities across the UK.

The race
Ten rowing machines at each site are linked together, so every metre rowed moves the team’s boat. The first boat to reach 100km wins.

Who’s rowing
BBC staff, BBC talent and Olympic and Paralympic rowers are taking part, and we’ll add the line-up here once it’s confirmed.
Each team’s total comes from its own fundraising page and updates every few minutes, so a new donation can take a little while to show. Contactless donations taken at Broadcasting House and MediaCity go straight to BBC Children in Need, so they aren’t counted here.
