VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED: CLICK HERE

ROW DOWN/CHOW DOWN: CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW IF YOUR COMING
From Joy:
This is the plan for the row down on Friday. We have ten 8+s and six 4+s to row down to PNC Park, not including the sculling boats. The junior team is taking down all of the fours, so that leaves the masters teams responsible for the eights. Therefore we need looking at needing 80-90 people to come down on Friday. We have a portion of this number committed from the Evening Masters and Beginner/Intermediate teams, but we need a large number more. Therefore, if you are racing in a TRRA shell please make it a priority to be at the row down or else you might not have a boat to race in the next day. ATTENTION SCULLER: If you are racing in any sculling event (quad, double, single) you are responsible for getting that boat and your oars down to PNC Park.

If possible, it is a good idea to drop a few cars off at PNC Park to transport groups back to the boathouse after each row. I will be at the Boathouse organizing the row down and handing out dinner vouchers. Rick will be at PNC Park organizing equipment down there. We will be starting at 4:30pm and sending boats down as enough people arrive to fill them. If you are able to do a couple of trips rowing down that is great. Thank you in advance for helping us get your equipment moved for race day, and let me know if you have any questions.

WHEN/WHERE TO GO SATURDAY
Everything should be pretty similar to last year:
• park in the lot between the stadiums (see signage, volunteers and trailers)
• coxswains meeting at 6:30 am, near the finish line
• EMM’s first races are 8:05 am. Meet at 7:00 am, launch approx. 7:15
• there should be a volunteer check in table, probably somewhere around the finish line.
• there will be an EMM tent. Don’t know exactly where yet. Maybe you can help set it up?
