International Adaptive Competitions

29 Jan

One of my first objectives for the Adaptive Rowing UK website was to provide a comprehensive set of (a) adaptive clubs, and (b) adaptive competitions (see sidebar) in the UK. But some of the most exciting adaptive rowing opportunities for British adaptive rowers are to be found outside of Britain. I’ve posted reports on all of them (see links in table), but I thought that I would start to make a (living) list of them here for everyone’s reference:

COMPETITION LOCATION DATES CONTACT
International Mixed Ability Regatta (tbd) June 2025 Mark Dewdney
Società Canottieri Armida Turin, Italy October Mark Dewdney
Head of the Charles Regatta Boston, USA 21 October Bruce Lynn

The names listed under “Contact” in the table are UK adaptive coaches who have participated in the particular competition and can provide tips and guidance on it.

Special shout out to Sophie Brown who waved the Union Jack for adaptive rowing in the HOCR this year (see photo).
