2008 Stonewall Regatta IX
The Stonewall Regatta Organizing Committee and the DC Strokes Rowing Club invite rowers to compete at the Stonewall XV Regatta. Stonewall is the only glbt-sponsored regatta in the United States. The event helps kick off the mid-Atlantic adult sprint racing season and serves to connect groups from different backgrounds and different geographic regions. Teams enter from private clubs, the armed forces, and other glbt crews (from cities like Boston, Chicago and Toronto). Last year’s regatta drew 350 rowers from 22 clubs to compete in 55 events. The course, set on the Anacostia River, starts just below the Pennsylvania Avenue (Sousa) Bridge and finishes downriver between the double I-295 bridges. * Launch/recover: Anacostia Community Boathouse * First race at 0900h. and last race at 1600h. * Course: 1,000 meter finals-only masters sprint race * Boat entries: 1x, 2x, 4x, 4+, and 8+ * Category entries for novice, masters, and open] * USRowing categories AA - J
