Welcome to the 19th Annual James River Sprints Regatta!

EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO UNSAFE RIVER CONDITIONS

We invite you to join scholastic teams and independent junior clubs from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region to compete on the majestic James River sprint race course on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Our gorgeous James River in Richmond has been  named as one of the world's 'Top 10 Riverways to Row Down'.

The James River Sprints Regatta is located at Robious Landing Park, 3800 James River Road, Midlothian, Virginia in northern Chesterfield County on the south bank of the James River. The incredible 101-acre park is adjacent to James River High School, and only 10 miles from downtown Richmond, Virginia. The site includes easy parking for team trailers, lots of shade trees for team tents, picnic shelters, permanent modern restrooms, a children's playground, and nearly 3 miles of nature trails in addition to close access to the James River. We'll have Starbucks coffee, fresh donuts and real Chick-fil-a sandwiches onsite, plus other snacks, drinks and goodies . Another popular feature: our park does allow cooking with gas grills!!

Paved parking and spectator admission are both absolutely FREE to keep your total event costs low!  Please note that the high school lot will also be used for a track and field meet - please ask your attendees to carpool as much as possible.

Also, don't forget to save the date for our Fall head race: 19th Head of the James is Saturday, October 12, 2024!

Please email us for any questions or information, and we'll see you there!
