Highlights for 2024

  • Junior Mens and Womens 4x events are straight quads. The U17 4x+ events will require a coxswain.
  • Junior 1x guaranteed entries belong to the club and can have different line-ups from the qualifying race.
  • Masters events will feature larger age-group divisions. If your event spans more than 1 age group, a gold medal will be awarded for both the time winner and handicapped winner in your event. Masters events will be divided into age groups after registration closes on October 28th.
  • Masters crews will be allowed to edit line-ups through race time. However, once the registration deadline has passed (October 28th at noon), you will not be able to move your boat from one event to another. The rowers in the boat must meet the age-group for the event.
  • There is no longer a parent-child event.
  • We have added a mixed open gender 2x event.
  • When you register for an event, you will be asked to agree with the refund policy. 

 

Small Boat Statement

  • If we need to cancel small boat events, we will consider cancellations in waves. The first wave will be the 1x events 12-16 and 21 beginning at ~9am. The second wave will be the 2x events 24-31 beginning at ~10:45am. The third wave will be 2x events 41 and 42 beginning at ~12:30. Our first consideration is the safety of rowers so we will err on the side of caution but we also want to take into consideration the fact that the water conditions can change over the period of the race. 
  • If your event is cancelled (both small and large boats) due to weather conditions, you will not be issued a refund. Consider the refund policy when entering small boat events as they are the most likely to be cancelled due to weather.

 

Refund policy 

If you scratch before noon on Monday, October 21, you will receive a refund. If you scratch after this date, refunds will not be issued. If your event is cancelled due to weather conditions, you will not be issued a refund.
