Another important note is that this race course has buoys and regatta signage that has to be immediately disassembled and packed away every year. UCMC always has the hands to help the New Haven Rowing Club clean up every year. Not only do we miss this race, but also helping our adjacent rowing communities.

Our next and final Fall race is the Wormtown Chase in Worcester, Massachusetts on October 26. So don’t miss it!
