Saturday, April 7, 10:00 a.m., Cascade Lake
The “Alumni Regatta” is open to all rowers, but there is an especially warm welcome to alumni of the junior rowing program. This annual regatta is a series of short sprint races. Each race is a single length of Cascade Lake, a mere 1000 meters.
It’s a hard distance to race over. You have to maintain good form and a heart racing pace for about 4 to 5 minutes to win one of those races; longer to lose.
The finish line is right by the boathouse and the dock, so it is a good opportunity to see what rowing regattas are all about. The racing starts at 10:00 a.m. and should be wrapped up within two hours by noon. Come on down to take a seat in a boat or to watch the spectacle.
