Race Registration
If you would like to fill out your entry form ahead of the race (especially if you are under 18 years of age and need parental permission) you can get a copy here: Entry/Release Form (PDF).
NEW! We are trying out a new registration and timing system. Help us out by pre-registering online; you can pre-register without making a final committment, so please sign up if you are even *thinking* of racing. Official registration will still take place day-of-race.

Post Race
The 2011 post race soup'n'bread will be at the Shelter Bay Clubhouse after the race. To get to the
Clubhouse, go back to Maple (the main road) and turn right. Head across the
orange bridge, and take the first left into Shelter Bay. Tell the guard, if
there is one, that you are with Sound Rowers. Follow Shelter Bay Drive about
a mile as it goes down a fairly steep hill with a putting area and the
marina on your left. Turn left just past the golf area. There should be
plenty of parking adjacent to the clubhouse.
