The Rocky Mountain Rowing Club hosts three primary events per year

Mile High Indoor Sprints: January  31, 2009 (Saturday)

Held in January or February, the Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints offer a break from the drudgery of off-the-water training. As a qualifier for the CRASH-Bs, the World Championship of Indoor Rowing, the Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints draws the toughest competitors from Colorado and surrounding states to test themselves against each other and the ergometer — all at more than a mile above sea level!

The 2009 Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints was held on January 31 at the Colorado Athletic Club - Monaco. For complete information, see the Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints website.

Row the Rockies Invitational Regatta: June 20, 2009

The Rocky Mountain Rowing Club invites you to join us for the Third Annual Row the Rockies Regatta! The 1000-meter sprint races will be held on sheltered, wakeless BowlesReservoir at Grant Ranch in Littleton, Colorado. A barbeque-style lunch will also be offered after racing. 

Referee Clinic: Row the Rockies referees and former Olympians Don Craig and Hank Miller will present a refereeing clinic on Thursday, June 18, 6:30-9:15 p.m. (Location TBA, Denver metroarea.) Attendance is open to anyone interested in learning how to make a rowing regatta“safe, fair, and fun.” Cost of the clinic is $15 per participant.

Lake Dillon Biathlon: July, 2008

The Lake Dillon Biathlon is a "friendly" and informal event held in late July or early August at beautiful Lake Dillon (near Frisco), in Colorado's Summit County.

This event is unique in that it combines rowing with bicycling. Participants begin with a 2-mile row, then climb on their bikes for an 18-mile loop around Lake Dillon -- which features the thigh-popping ascent up Swan Mountain Road -- and then finish with another 2-mile row. Oh, by the way, this is all at elevations above 9,000 feet. For a light-hearted description of the event, see the article in the November 2005 newsletter.

Many people set out on this undertaking with their goal just to finish, but rowers being typically competitive, all-out racing never fails to ensue. Most competitors choose to race individually, but team boats -- and bikes -- are allowed.
