Know Before You Go

Regatta season
Rowing courses host scholastic, collegiate, and master regattas spring through fall. Most venues are otherwise quiet training waters used by local clubs.
Race format
Sprint regattas run 2,000m for international/collegiate, 1,500m for high school. Heats and finals occupy a full day with crews launching every 4-6 minutes.
Spectator basics
Bring sunscreen and binoculars — most courses are wide and crews are far from the grandstand. The finish line is the only place to feel the speed up close.
