As a yearly tradition, Duke Club Rowing travels to Olympic Park for a full week of strength training, sprints, and friendly scrimmages. Defined by historic architecture and spacious waterways, this course is a timeless classic.

Flowing through the industrial core of Richmond, the James is not for the faint of heart -- its strong current offers a worthy challenge, yielding both rapid race sequences and equally harrowing dock maneuvers. Combined with support from local crowds, it makes for the perfect trial regatta.

This championship attracts crews from a range of ambitious programs, each looking to cement their legacy across the Southeast. The regional thriller represents the critical peak of Duke Club Rowing's sprint season.

What better way to conclude our season than with sunset rowing, followed by outdoor grilling -- a proper celebration marked by gratitude for community.
