Canadian Indoor Rowing Championships

  • Feb 9, 2025
  • indoor
  • Virtual, ON (CAN)
  • Hosted By: Canadian Indoor Rowing Association
  • Sanctioned by RCA & ON (2024)

Although we had hoped to be together again racing indoors on Concept2 ergs on Sunday February 9, 2025, the low number of entries has led us to the decision to cancel the Canadian Indoor Rowing Championships (Virtual).   The Organizing Committee will instead focus its efforts on finding a new unique venue for hosting the indoor rowing championships in 2026 and the years to follow.

 

Regatta Central is working with the CIRC 2025 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE to process refunds to any competitors already registered this upcoming week.

 

CIRC’s aim is to host a competitive event allowing rowers in all categories to feel the energy and push of cheering crowds and pressure to bring out a personal best and big erg scores on a national stage. For over 40 years, CIRC has been able to bring the community together for individuals using the erg for fitness or for winter training, for scouts looking for promising performances, as well as a winter reunion of friends within the rowing community.   With low numbers in many categories it would not be the calibre of competition we aimed for and not our typical exciting event for spectators and families to watch.   We recognize athletes and coaches would prefer an in-person competition, so the search is on.

 

It is a good opportunity for review.  There is opportunity to take a closer look at new racing formats and the programs in other international indoor racing events.  Indoor rowing competition globally is enjoying a stronger focus. World Rowing is expanding its commitment to growing competition opportunities with new technology in the eSport space and dedicated staff resources to lead the international effort.   

 

A huge thank-you to the volunteer members of Team CIRC and partners TIME-TEAM, Regatta Central, RegattaSport and Concept2.  We appreciate your support and look forward to being in-person next year.

 

In the coming months we will post a survey on our website to get your input for future of indoor rowing racing in Canada.   More information is on the website www.cdnindoorrowing.org
