2011 Royal Flying Doctors Service Murray Rowathon

Annually, the rowing community holds Australia’s longest and toughest race, the ‘Murray Rowathon’, as a fund raiser in support of the Royal Flying Doctors Service please see www.murrayrowathon.com.

This is the major annual event when rowers give back to the community.

In 2010 the rowing community gave nearly $20,000.00 to the Flying Doctors and this year, with your support, the organisers would like to raise $30,000.00 or more for the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Organisers are currently seeking both participants, and sponsors for those doing it tough on the day.

Call for Entries Winter Time Trial Number 5, 17th – 18th September

The fifth and final of Rowing ACT’s Winter Time Trials will be held on the 17th and 18th September 2011. The format of the event is singles and pairs on the Saturday, doubles, quads, fours and eights on Sunday. Rowing ACT is willing to accept double entries on Saturday, however crews must be early novice. Clubs need to be aware these crews will NOT be competing in any official category and will not be awarded prize or point score rewards.

The course is 4km long and runs from near the Dam, around a turning boat near the 1800m start, down Yarramundi Reach, around Kurrajong Point and up Tarcoola Reach finishing at the first of the white timber piles, opposite the AIS in Lotus Bay.

The series winner for each category of boat is determined by a point score based on handicap times. Crews/scullers receive one point for each race they complete, plus one point for each opponent in that race that they beat on handicap time. Crews can accumulate series points provided they do not change more than 25% of their crew from one time trial to the next.

Entries should be via your club and sent by email to Rowing ACT . Entries close at midnight on the Sunday preceding the time trial (September 11). Larger clubs may collate entries into the template spread sheet below.
