We look forward to welcoming you to the 2025 RowOn Championship Regatta!

The RowOn Championships is an annual event for athletes representing clubs in Ontario and beyond. The main objective of the regatta is to crown provincial champions in multiple categories across 12 boat classes, and to recognize athletes, coaches, and clubs by providing a quality race experience that is aligned with the Athlete Development model and development pathway for rowing in Ontario.

NEW in 2025 – To continue to promote the sport, and provide meaningful race opportunities for all, the Novice 1x Festival is being introduced in 2025. This event will give younger and less experienced athletes the opportunity to participate, but not require them to enter the main 1x event, where they are not likely to get a final. This event will be held after the last final on Saturday, allowing for coaches, fellow club athletes, and spectators to watch and cheer on the novice racers. The Novice Festival is open to all U15 athletes, regardless of previous experience, as well as novice athletes of all ages who did not race prior to Sept. 1st, 2024. More details are outlined in the Regatta Package.

REGATTA PACKAGE (posted June 23 @ 3:35pm)

Row Ontario is committed to delivering a fun and safe regatta and, as such, we recognize the importance of having experienced safety boat drivers on the course during training and racing. We are asking each participating Club to provide at least one volunteer safety boat driver. Volunteer shifts will be approximately 5.5 hours in length (7am-12:30pm, or 12:30pm-6pm), and volunteers must possess a valid Pleasure Craft Operators Card and be able to assist a crew on the water, should the need arise.

Volunteers will receive lunch and thank you swag. Clubs will receive a $25 credit (per volunteer safety boat driver, per shift) towards club entry fees. Please contact Kate Savage at [email protected] to sign up and ensure your Club receives the credit.

Site Maps, First Aid Plan, Safety Plan, and Weather Action Plan can be found under the Venue tab on the left.
