Home International Rowing Beach Sprints

The Home International Rowing Beach Sprints builds on the rich history of its sister event the Home International Rowing Regatta

England Rowing

The Home International Rowing Beach Sprints is a new event with the four ‘Home Nations’ of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales competing.

The event is building off the rich history of its sister event the Home International Rowing Regatta, which has seen many Olympians racing for their first international representation. The event is a great opportunity to gain experience in the Beach Sprint format if you have hopes to row for GB at the 2028 Olympic Games in LA or beyond!
