Race & Events

General Race Information

Please check the weather often as we approach race day and come prepared. Unless otherwise noted, all regattas require you to transport your child or arrange carpooling. Rowers may not self-transport to any regatta beyond Nathan Benderson Park. Parents self-organize drive and handle carpool arrangements. We will help you, just reach out. All rowers must wear Scullers gear to race. High School & Performance Teams are required to wear their uni. All members who have their own rowing shoes already are required to bring their own shoes.

Please read each race carefully for relevant information. Race schedules often change the night before or even the day-of.  Please use the links provided for each event. That is the best way to find information. We put all race information we have on this page- please direct fellow Scullers or Scullers parents to this page if there are questions.
