Quads and singles are open to masters rowers only, while the other categories accept collegiate and masters entries. The Collegiate Novice Sprint for eights costs $140 per boat.

Competitors should review the coach and competitor packet before race day and can join the regatta's WhatsApp group for race-day updates, organizers said.
