If your team is not a member of FSRA, you’ll need to submit a certificate of insurance and NOARA waivers for all participants.

Bill Frederick Park opens at 6:00 AM. It is preferred that trailers arriving for Sunday events, plan to be at the gate after 6:00pm on Saturday or 6:00am Sunday.  Contact regatta chair via email for afterhours gate access. NO Saturday practice is available due to the Youth Regatta that day.

Masters races will award medals in each heat.  

The OARS Masters Invitational is free for all spectators, but there is a $4 parking fee at Bill Frederick Park.  Spectators are invited to bring chairs or blankets for viewing along the lake.  

There will be food and merchandise vendors at the race site Sunday, for your convenience.  

We are looking forward to another awesome day of racing!
