About the Heart
The Heart of Texas, a USRowing Registered Regatta and Nationally Recognized Regatta, is held annually in early March, making it one of the first sprint regattas of the Spring. Austin Rowing Club has been host to the Heart of Texas Regatta since 1983 when the race was primarily for visiting college crews. The event has grown to include Masters, Open and Junior events and a seven lane, fully buoyed 1000 meter course and state-of-the-art starting platform. Over 800 entries competed at the 2013 Regatta for a total of over 1,400 competitors.
