Racing Team

Wilmington Rowing Center members race at local, regional, national, and world regattas.  We race all USRowing masters classifications and range in age from their mid-20s to their mid-80s.

WRC’s Racing Team is made up of men and women with diverse rowing and racing backgrounds.  Some began rowing in high school, some in college, while others first started rowing at WRC through its Learn to Row program.

Practices are typically Monday & Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.  The on the water season begins in the early Spring and goes through the Fall regattas.  The year is broken into Spring (sprint races, April-July) & Fall (head races, August-October) sessions for registration purposes.  Winter land training begins in January and runs through March.

The Racing Team does have additional fees for coaching, regatta registration, & trailering.

For racing related inquiries, please contact our Racing Chair: Karen Walsh.
