BIR Adults row in multiple regattas each year, depending on rower availability and interest. Click the links below for details about each regatta we typically participate in. Other regattas and scrimmages may be scheduled throughout the season.
Adults who wish to row in regattas must meet the requirements for participation on the Masters General Information page. Once a rower has committed to a regatta, the rower pledges to participate in practices and races as determined by coaches, pay all regatta expenses (see “Essential Info” links below), commit to boat practices, work hard, and have fun!
