Regatta Schedule (aka Heat Sheets):
The regatta schedule is typically released a day or two before the regatta on www.regattacentral.com. You can print the heat sheets out before the event or access them on your phone on the day of the regatta to figure out which boats are racing when. Regatta results will be available immediately following races on X (Twitter) @VASRAResults.
Food Tent:
The McLean Crew food tent provides food for athletes throughout the day at all regattas at no charge. Our food tent provides coach-approved food (e.g. no dairy before races) and serves as a gathering place for athletes and parents before/between races. See Food Tent Map.
Parking:
Entrance for spectators opens at 8 am. Monitored parking for $20/day. The lots in Fairmount Park can be reached by following the Kelly Drive detour. Shuttles available between racecourse and parking every 20-25 minutes (depending on traffic) from approximately 8 am to 6 pm. See Handout for Directions/Parking.
Viewing:
When facing the river, the boats will be coming from your right. You can watch the races from the tent location or walk to the left to the finish line by the grandstands.
