2022 Virtual Regatta

In 2020, we celebrated our 50th anniversary, our sport, and the future with the rowing community - virtually. You turned out to compete in spite of the challenges. It was truly inspiring to see you meet your goals, row with family members, race in a single for the first time, keep those records of consecutive HOSRs...and help to raise over $8,000 for Philadelphia City Rowing, empowering youth through the sport of rowing.

We know many cannot travel to Philadelphia, but still want to connect and compete with athletes across the country and around the world!

Thanks to your tremendous feedback and participation in 2021, the HOSR will hold a virtual component again in 2022.
