TEXAS ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS

About the Texas Rowing Championships
TRC is a two day event open to junior and master crews from the state of Texas. The 1000 meter event features a 7-lane, fully buoyed race course on Lady Bird Lake and takes place at Festival Beach Park. A USRowing registered regatta, this event is open to rowers who are USRowing members, or racing for an organization that is a USRowing member. TRC is the principal regatta in a series of events that determine the best high school rowers in Texas. Following TRC is the Central District Youth Rowing Championship, where junior teams compete for a chance to race at the USRowing Youth National Championships.

The 2012 event will be hosted in partnership with the Asian American Cultural Center Dragon Boat Festival (Saturday only).  Spectators on Saturday will enjoy both rowing and Dragon Boat racing, with several cultural events planned as well.
