We are excited to be kicking off another season of winter training at CBRC. When the weather gets cold, we take our training indoors for cross-training.

The season offers a fun and challenging mix of erg workouts, flexibility, and strength training to build fitness and get ready for racing in the spring.

Schedule

• November 10, 2026 - January 30, 2027

Program Fee

• Full Winter Training season - $285 + tax

Practices

• Tuesday and Thursday, 5:30 am - 7 am

• Saturday: 6:30 am - 8:30 am
  (optional team social at Starbucks after practice)

All practices take place upstairs at the CBRC boathouse.

On Saturdays, weather permitting, we will row on the water. Lineups will be made the morning of practice. Come prepared for an indoor or on-the-water practice if you’d like to get out on the water.

Please arrive 5-10 min. before practice!
