D3
The Dexter Dash ... and Dinner
On Friday April 10th late afternoon
Want a chance to 'fly and die' with the best of them? To have some fun before you get serious on Saturday? To earn 'the right' to eat a little extra at the dinner BBQ? Maybe you just want a low key way to try your first singles race. Join us for some fun 500 meter (or so) sprints. These races will be fast, but not furious. We want to have some fun and get to know our guests before the 'real deal' on Saturday. Please join us.
The racing will feature 500 meter sprints, either on the final 500m of the race course, or along the Dexter dam, weather dependent.
8 masters events:
Masters1x: men, women
Masters 1x - first-time singles race: men, women
Masters 8+: men, women
Masters novice 8+: men, women
NOTE: the 'Novice' singles races are intended to allow scullers who have never raced their single to give it a first time try. These scullers may or may not be 'novice' as officially USRA defined.
For proper seeding and handicapping, all masters entries must include athlete's names and birthdates.
We intend to run all races very close together - there will be no hot-seating, boat sharing, etc.
A chicken BBQ (included in your entry fee) will be offered immediately following the racing, under the picnic shelter. A vegetarian entrée alternative will also be available.
Entry fees(separate from Saturday's fees): $20 per person for your race and dinner. You don't have to actually race to eat - but we would love it if you did! Entries close April 1st.
CBR entries and registration through the separate listing here at RegattaCentral.
There will be a BRIEF coxswain's/sculler's meeting at 4:45PM at the park shelter.
Races will start at 5:30 and end about 6:00.
Dress warmly!
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.
