Team Travel
Athletes will be required to provide their own transportation to/from St. Louis. Athletes are expected to be at the St. Louis Rowing Club at 9:30am on Saturday, March 22nd. The address for the St. Louis Boathouse is: 13777 Marine Ave., St. Louis, MO 63043. It is possible to drive over in the morning if you wish, the trip takes about 4 hours with no stops or traffic. We gain an hour going west, so you would need to leave Indianapolis by 6:00am I would recommend to make it to the boathouse in St. Louis in time to rig and race.
Parent Hotel Information
We have reserved courtesy room blocks for those who wish to drive to St. Louis the night before.
If you wish to reserve a room, please follow this link:
St. Louis Scrimmage Room Block
Parents will be required to provide payment for these rooms directly, they will not be invoiced by IRC as with other regattas.
Regatta Plan
I would like to see all athletes arrive between 9:00am and 9:30am at the St. Louis boathouse. We will have a C&C at 10:00am and will start launching at 10:15. The morning session will end around noon with a lunch break. Afternoon racing will begin with a 1:20 race and will be done around 2:30. I hope to have everybody on their way back home shortly after 3:00.

The expectation is that all athletes will travel to/from the regatta on the team bus and stay with team in the hotel. For those athletes that will be traveling to or from the regatta with parents, or staying with parents you need to fill out the alternate travel requeset form. Please keep in mind the following requirements when not traveling or staying with the team.
- When traveling with parents to the regatta, athletes are expected to arrive at the team hotel by lights-out time (typically 9:30pm). If the athlete cannot arrive by that time they will need to stay with the parent that evening.
- When traveling with parents home from the regatta, athletes are expected to remain at the race venue until the trailer is fully loaded and the team is released to the buses.
- When staying overnight with parents, the athlete must be present at the hotel at the bus departure time, or arrive at the race venue at the bus arrival time.
