RACE DAY

We will run 10 ergs per flight on 15-minute centers. Ergs will be connected to the C2 software that allows the participants to compete against each other on the big screen.

The Parent Challenge will be an ongoing event starting at 9:45am to 12:45pm. Two ergs will be set aside to allow parents to hop on the erg and give it their best shot. Their meters and the program their child rows for will be recorded. Each participating parent will earn 1/2 point to be awarded to their child's team towards the Team Points Trophy. Medals will be given to the male and female who covered the most meters in ONE minute. 

Events with less than 10 racers may be combined with other such events and race in the same flight. In that case, each event’s results will be recorded separately.

  • Waiver required for all participants MUST be completed online as part of registration.
  • You must be under the age listed on race day. Example: U19 means you have not turned 19 years old as of the day of the event.
  • Lightweights: No Weigh-In. We operate on an honor system but the regatta reserves the right to weigh a winner.
  • JUNIORS: Male – 155 lbs. max / Female – 135 lbs. max
  • ADULTS: Male – 165 lbs. max / Female – 135 lbs. max
  • Coxswain (Junior event only) must have served as a coxswain 75% or more of the time on their team. Coaches will be contacted to confirm.
