Plant High Winter Sprints (Fall Sprints)
Saturday, December 6, 2025

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 2025-2026 Parent/Rower Handbook.

Registration fee for Plant High Winter Sprints is $150

Deadline to register is Friday, November 14, 2025

When:  Saturday, December 6, 2025

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.

Even though this is a one-day regatta, there will be a small parent room block for those interested in staying overnight (2-night minimum stay required). Hotel reservation link to be sent out in the next few days.
