Join us for fall season, where the aerobic and strength foundation we’ve worked for all year pays off during challenging head races (typically 5000-meter courses, about 20 minutes in duration).

Practices include on-the-water technical and aerobic training work in both singles and team boats, and preparation for several fall regattas.

Schedule

• Aug. 3 - Oct. 31

Fee

• $450

Practices

• Monday-Thursday: 5:30 am - 7 am

All practices originate at the CBRC boathouse. Please arrive 5-10 min. before practice!

Regattas

CBRC competes at several local fall regattas, but participation is not required. Most athletes race, however, since it’s a fun and exciting way to test all their hard work during the season, build confidence and resilience, and to bond with their team.

• Oct 4 - Tail of the Lake (Lake Union, Seattle, WA)

• Oct 11 - American Lake Fall Classic (Home regatta @ CBRC)

• Oct 25 - Portland Fall Classic, Vancouver, WA

• Nov 1 - Head of the Lake (Lake Washington, Seattle, WA)

Registration Requirements

To participate in practices and regattas, the following forms and memberships are required. You will be prompted to complete these steps during the iCrew registration process:

• CBRC participation waiver

• Attestation of swimming ability

• Active USRowing membership

• Active CBRC annual membership

Volunteer Information
Volunteering is essential to the success of all of our programs at CBRC. We ask that you contribute through one or more of the following opportunities:

• Volunteer with at least one CBRC event

• Contribute 3 hours or more per season in a Club task, for example the annual Boathouse cleaning

• Donate food items or time in the cook tent at regattas

• Volunteer for at least one task per month, for example tent set-up at regattas

• Join a CBRC Board committee

Safety

Athlete safety is our number one priority. Rowers are always accompanied by trained, USRowing-authorized coaches in launches.  Fall morning practices will soon start in the dark, so lights on bow and stern are required. You may use your own lights or lights provided by the club. Please dress in high-vis layers for extra visibility.

Indoor Workouts

Please bring a set of indoor athletic wear in case of bad weather; also include a pair of closed-heel athletic shoes for use on the rowing machines. Locker room and shower facilities are available for those participants needing to head directly from practice to work.

Youth in Middle and High School are invited to join CBRC for Fall Season. No experience is needed, with a “learn to row” component built into both programs.

Practices include on-the-water technical and aerobic training work in preparation for longer “head race” regattas (~ 5000m).
