When: Saturday, November 21, 2020
Event Location: Nathan Benderson Park
5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota, FL 34235
Due to COVID protocols all teams will be given SET arrival times by the regatta host. These times will NOT be released until sometime in the evening on Wed, Nov. 18. We will send updated information as soon as we have it.
This is NOT a Travel Regatta (meaning there is no team transportation nor team arranged hotel rooms).
All rowers are expected to arrange their own transportation to Nathan Benderson Park.
ONLY Rowers, coaches and support staff will be allowed on the island, all other viewing will be anywhere on the outside of the race course. There is a walking path that surrounds the entire waterway. This is a 5k course and will utilize all of the waterways. Please note that the direction of this course is different from sprint season and the start/finish is near the typical launch area.
Due to the complexity of this regatta with rowers on the island and parents, families on land side, It is vital that all rowers and families are on the Remind text group. All communication this weekend will be communicated via the text group.
To sign up for ALL High School just text the message “@sorayouth” to 321-282-3526.
