    After winning the SportsTravel Award for “Best Amateur Sporting Event” in 2023, USRowing and Nathan Benderson Park are proud to bring the 2024 USRowing Youth National Championships to Sarasota, Florida again. This event offers opportunities for crews that have qualified from around the country to come together to crown national champions. The USRowing-produced regatta features more than 3,500 rowers racing for medals in as many as 43 events. There are 853 entries from 224 clubs across the nation, all of whom qualified for this event from regional youth championships. Those events included the USRowing Southeast Regional Championships, to which NBP played host in May. View the list of entries and clubs. Click here for week of event information!

  • Summer Festival of Rowing

    Hosted by The Bolles School. View event website to register! NO TIME TRIALS - we believe youth rowers need to race in the summer. Too many boats (over HALF at many races!) are going to summer races and are done after they race a 1,900 meter time trial.
