National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships
London Youth Rowing and The Boat Race Company Ltd have announced the creation of a National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships, hosted by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
The Championships will be held on 28 March 2007 at Hammersmith town hall and are open to anyone in the country aged 12 to 18.
Organisers hope the event will become an important date on the junior rowing calendar alongside regional events and the British Indoor Rowing Championships, held in Birmingham each year.
Concept 2 and LYR will stage the event with participants from across the country competing in individual and team events. The format will follow the ARA year group distance with a Sprint Relay and a Boat Race Relay over 6780 metres - The Boat Race distance.
There will be Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the winners of each category and special prizes including Concept 2 indoor rowing machines and the opportunity to follow the Boat Race in a launch on race day, 7th April - a prize that money just can't buy.
Organisers are seeking young people who feel they are up to the challenge and want to compete in the first-ever junior national championship.
