Parking for Boat Trailers and Car Top Shells:
Boat trailers and car top shells will be parked in designated spots within the
parking lot at the new Boathouse. Follow the attached directions. Please email
[email protected] immediately if you are bringing a boat trailer
or driving a car with shell(s) on top.
New Course and Traffic Pattern:
With the new boathouse upstream we have reversed the direction of the course.
It is a straight 1000 meter course passing through the Pennsylvania Bridge
around the 250m to go mark finishing across from the launch docks allowing
spectators a grand view of the finish. However, with a new course, it is very
important that the coxswains acquaint themselves with the layout. The attached
course layout will be discussed at the coxswains meeting posted at the
boathouse.
Apparel Sales:
Get your 11th Annual Capital Sprints T-Shirts! T-Shirts will be available for
purchase on Saturday.
Sportgraphics:
Sportgraphics will be taking photos and will be offering a 15% discount on all Cap
Sprints photos up until 30 days after the event.
