Traffic Pattern:
Please see attached map to review traffic pattern 
Morning Heats/Time Trials:
Warm up area traffic must follow counter clockwise pattern between Weeks Bridge and Anderson Bridge.  Please be aware of other crews and boat traffic going through bridges. You may go upstream past Anderson Bridge to completely warm up before returning to pre-race staging area.  

Afternoon Finals/Dashes:
Warm up area traffic must follow counter clockwise pattern between Western Ave Bridge and Anderson Bridge and obey normal river rules.  Please be aware of other crews and boat traffic going through bridges. You may go upstream past Anderson Bridge to completely warm up before returning to pre-race staging area downstream of Western Ave bridge.

Be aware there will be traffic marshals in launches commanding boats going up the racecourse (from the dock towards the starting line) to stop or proceed.  Listen to marshals - they are watching out for your safety.  Marshals can disqualify crews for not adhering to commands; you will have no opportunity to protest violations of safety procedures.  

Docking /Receiving:
Please row through finish line area and row around the buoy indicated on the traffic pattern map.  If you need medical attention raise hand or call out to race referees, finish line officials or Dept of Conservation & Recreation Rangers.  Please clear the finish line when you are able.  This is a safety measure as races are run on close centers and the finish line must be clear of traffic for oncoming boats. 
90 seconds – please limit your time on the dock to 90 seconds once you have landed to remove oars and leave the receiving area.  Please help keep the dock area clear!
