We kicked off our first Quarts Race - Sunday, July 11, 2021!

Updated on

The goal of the Quarts Race is to create community within the club through competition and camaraderie. They're at their best when every one, from every program, comes. Juniors, Masters, Evening Rows, and Learn to Row participants are all welcome.

At our first event, we had people with a few days of experience rowing with people with decades of rowing… and all having fun on the Gorge!
