RegattaCentral

The date for the 2009 Covered Bridge Regatta

is Saturday, April 11, 2009. 

As in years past, we will have events for juniors, masters and collegiate rowers. A preliminary schedule of events is posted on the 'Event List.' The final schedule will be completed following the closure of entries on April 1^st and will be available at www.oarowing.org and at www.RegattaCentral.com.

This year we have added the D³:  Dexter Dash and Dinner 

on Friday, April 10^th.

 - Friday night we will hold sprint races(ca. 500 m) for masters singles and eights (novice and experienced). Races in the late afternoon, followed by dinner under the park shelter. 

- Information and registration through the separate listing here at RegattaCentral for the D³.

We encourage you to arrive on Friday to enter the sprints or just to unload boats and equipment and maybe take a practice row to be ready for Saturday. 

Overnight security at the park will be provided.

All entries must be completed through the Regatta Central website by April 1^st. Fees must be paid by April 1^st. Late entries or late fees will be accepted only on a space-available basis and at double the original entry fee.

We strongly encourage clubs and schools to bring motor launches and drivers. This has been an incredible help in the past and we need you again this year. We do reimburse for fuel!

Once again the Ed Offchiss Memorial Trophy will be awarded to the winner of the Men's Masters Single. Ed was an OAR member who passed away during the 2003 'Row for the Cure' in Portland. Team Points Trophies will be awarded to the junior and collegiate teams that accumulate the most points over the regatta.

While all registration must be completed through www.RegattaCentral.com,questions may be directed to Anita Larson at regatta@oarowing.org.

PLEASE NOTE: 

Junior, master and collegiate teams must each register as separate entities, each subject to a separate fee cap.

For proper seeding and handicapping, all masters entries must include athlete's names and birthdates.

Southbound I-5 UPDATE !

Beware, the I-5 exit if you are heading south is in flux. 
Currently, just south of the Eugene, 30th St exit, an exit under construction for
Goshen, Oakridge and Highway 58 is the one to take.
