Plant High Winter Sprints (Fall Sprints)
Saturday, December 7, 2024
SORA is excited to attend the Fall Sprints Regatta, hosted by Plant High School. This is a ONE day regatta and is our first Sprint Race of the season, boats will be lined up at the start, for side by side racing on a 1500 meter course.
Registration is required for this regatta.
This is considered an out of town regatta, however travel and hotels are not included for our HS rowers in the registration fee. Regatta fees are higher for regattas at Nathan Benderson Park due to regatta seat fees, tent rentals, trailer and staff travel expenses as noted in the 2024-2025 Parent/Rower Handbook.
Registration fee for Plant High Winter Sprints is $125
Deadline to register is Sunday, December 1, 2024
When: Saturday, December 7, 2024
Arrival: 7:00 - 7:30 am, final report time will be announced closer to the regatta.
Event Location: Nathan Benderson Park
5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota, FL 34235
Parking: Parking is typically located off-island and there will be a parking fee
Rowers are NOT permitted to drive themselves. All rowers must ride over with a parent or ride-share with another rower family.
There is not a parent room block for this event due to this being a one day regatta. If you are interested in staying overnight you will want to look soon, there is a large softball tournament in Sarasota the same weekend.
