The Rocky Mountain Rowing Club hosts three primary events per year

Mile High Indoor Sprints: February 2, 2008 (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 2008 Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints was held on Febuary 2, 2008, at the Colorado Athletic Club - Monaco. For complete information, see the Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints website.

Row the Rockies Invitational Regatta: July 12, 2008

2007 was the inaugural year for the Row the Rockies Invitational Regatta. The race has been open only to Colorado rowers, and features a buoyed 1000 meter race course.

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.
