Quarts Races celebrate our rowing community and are a wonderful opportunity to bring together participants from all of our different programs. Juniors, Masters, Evening Rows, and Learn to Row participants are all welcome.
So, it's only fitting that we salute the end of a year's rowing with a Holiday Quarts Race!
As with all Quarts Races, there are prizes. Who, exactly, wins is… interesting… teams get points for winning races, of course, but attitude, silly tricks, wacky costumes, and, of course, enthusiastic singing, definitely count!
We'll be back on the water in January!
