500m Qualifying Heat – All 3 teams will race and start from upstream of NS1 to Nautica Pavilion.  Lane 1 is the boat closest to the eastside, lane 2 is the middle lane, and lane 3 is closest to the west bank. Top 2 boats will advance to finals and turn around immediately following the race and head back up to NS1 for the Final Race.  Losing boat will head back to the Rivergate Docks accompanied by a launch at Nautica Turn.  In case of bad weather this may change to a time trial.  The first place team from the sprint will get the inside lane (west bank) for the final

The race is held at the Cleveland Rowing Foundation Boathouse on the Cuyahoga River and was originally called the Home Schools Regatta.  The race course was previously from the I90 bridge to the end of the Boathouse.  With the move to the new Rivergate boathouse 500 meters downstream, a few changes have been made this year to the course.

You can watch Start and Finish of the Qualifying race at Settler’s Landing. For the Final race you can watch the beginning of the race from settler’s landing but you’ll miss the finish.  If  you want to see the last 30 strokes I’d recommend watching at Hart Crane Memorial Park next to columbus Rd.
