Information

What are Beach Sprints?

The Beach Sprint format is ideal for agile and skilled scullers with a performance background, from either coastal or river rowing.

It starts with a sprint on the beach for one person from each crew. After entering the boat, the boat slaloms around buoys, turns around and rows straight back to the beach before one of the crew exits the boat and runs to the finish line.

About St Andrews West Sands Beach

St Andrews West Sands Beach is famous as the location for the opening scenes of the film Chariots of Fire. The beach extends for almost two miles of uninterrupted golden sand, backed with dunes and the world-renowned golf course.
