Hi Rob, I’ve never found a single, easy place to find competitions. Tends to be word of mouth and forums such as this one.
The BRIC is promoted and is early December.
A couple I have done are:
The Dorset Indoor

Somerset 525 is ‘fun’ with a 5k on the Friday, 2k on Saturday and 500m on Sunday. You can do just one event if you want.

Since Covid, indoor rowing comps have been stopped. When they are back on the agenda, I'd assume there should be a resumption of the Welsh Championships, which is usually at the end of November in Cardiff.

Scottish Championships are around mid November, not sure of location as I seem to recall it's changed a few times. British Championships are in London, in early December, and English Championships are early February in Manchester.

Obviously, things are very different now, so they might still be virtual this year, or they might not happen at all. I've just seen that the Scottish & Welsh were combined as a virtual event in late January this year, so not sure how that will change things
51 HWT; 6' 4"; 1k= 3:09; 2k= 6:36; 5k= 17:19; 6k= 20:47; 10k= 35:46 30mins= 8,488m 60mins= 16,618m HM= 1:16.47; FM= 2:40:41; 50k= 3:16:09; 100k= 7:52:44; 12hrs = 153km
