Champs Junior Sculling Head

Cambridge Champs Junior Sculling Head 20th March 2021

Given the current national lockdown and ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the organising committee regret to inform competitors that CCJSH for 2021 will be cancelled since club rowing at this time is not in scope of the British Rowing Return to Rowing timeline.

We will be back for the event on 19th March 2022 when we hope the world will have returned to some sort of normality – at least for rowing!

The event as planned in 2021 would have run according to the information below, we will update this closer to the 2022 event date.

DIVISIONS Div 1: 10:30 | Div 2: 12:15 | Div 3: 14:00.

There will be sufficient time between divisions to allow crews to double-up, and will permit boat sharing across divisions (though please ensure boats are adequately cleaned between use to reduce likelihood of COVID transmission).

The course runs 1450m upstream from The Plough pub at Fen Ditton to the site of the old Penny Ferry pub at Chesterton.

The race will use a rolling start on the Plough Reach. There is excellent towpath access along the whole course, which makes it an ideal event for juniors. Bring a bike or your trainers and you will be metres away from your scullers!
