Begun in 1997 as an exhibition row for the newly formed Pittsford Crew club, the Pittsford Regatta has grown into an exciting two-day event featuring both youth (high school club) and masters rowing events. The regatta is held on the historic Erie Canal in Pittsford, NY.
The canal is ideal for racing. The water is flat and sheltered with very little boat traffic. The course consists of two lanes running a total of 1200-meters.
Event Details
All masters events (singles, doubles, fours, and eights) are run head style. All youth events (fours and eights) are run progression style. Youth events begin with qualifying head races or time trials.
The top four boats progress to semifinal sprint races. Each youth event culminates in an exciting final sprint event where the top two boats race head-to-head for the gold!
