Bournemouth set for largest ever British Rowing Beach Sprint Championships
Entries for the 2025 British Rowing Beach Sprint Championships have more than doubled from last year
2025 sees a massive record entry for the British Rowing Beach Sprint Championships. More than 130 competitors will race across nearly 160 entries, smashing the previous highest total of 85 entries.
59 clubs will be travelling to Bournemouth beach, often regarded as one of the best beaches in the UK. This is the largest number of clubs that have ever made the trip to the British Rowing Beach Sprint Championships.
Bournemouth Beach will host a wide range of competitors, aged from 14 to 63, with events for Juniors, Students, Seniors and Masters, competing in Solos, Doubles and Mixed Quads. The largest event will be the women’s J16 Solos – a new event this year, which will see 23 scullers take part.
Interim CEO of British Rowing, Mark Davies, was delighted with the news of this record entry. “With Beach Sprints now an Olympic event, interest in this format is ramping up, which is great to see,” he said.
“The number of entries is way past our expectations, and we are looking forward to a brilliant weekend. It’s going to be super exciting competition and I am sure a fabulous spectacle. If you’re anywhere nearby, come down and watch!”
Entries will include reigning World Champions, as well as members of the GB Beach Sprint Team training for this year’s World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals in Antalya, Turkey, later in the year.
The 2025 British Rowing Beach Sprint Championships will be held on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st August at Bournemouth, Dorset.
Full details of entries and a provisional schedule will be published on Friday 22 August.
