Champs Junior Sculling Head

Next race: Sunday 17th March 2013

DIVISIONS

10:30, 12:15 & 14:00
There will be sufficient time between divisions to allow crews to double-up, and will permit boat sharing across divisions. It should take no longer than 10 minutes to row from the finish to Churchill Boathouse.

The course runs upstream from The Plough pub at Fen Ditton to the Penny Ferry pub at Chesterton (1450m).  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!

ENTRIES ARE INVITED FOR: 1X, 2X, 4X & 4X+

Please note – doubling up is at the discretion of parents/coaches (please take account of the age/experience/stamina of the rowers when considering doubling up)

We recommend that where possible single sculls and double sculls (particularly J16-18)  select divisions 1 & 2 as below; all quads select any division (but preference for divisions 2 and 3). These are recommendations and are not obligatory, in order to provide competing clubs with complete flexibility for boat sharing etc. but also giving the opportunity to compete in similar conditions with your opposition.

Division 1 Men’s 1X & Women’s 2X

Division 2 Men’s 2X & Women’s 1X
