The start - 3rd July 2011

Long Distance Races 2013

The Long Distance Races this year are starting with an experimental format. In previous years crews have raced from Horahora Domain to Karapiro Domain with some visiting crews putting their boats in the water at Horahora and local crews having to row there.

Update 28/05/13 - I have no idea what is happening with the race this weekend coming. I don't know if it is starting at Horahora or Karapiro; your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps the Waikato Rowing Association webmaster has been given more up to date information... you can have a look here if you wish

This page will not be updated again - please refer to the Unofficial Waikato Rowing Association website

The first race this year will be from the Karapiro Domain to a point 3km upriver near the first pylons and back, twice, making a total distance of approximately 12km. Those of you not wanting to do the full distance can do just a single lap.

The races are open to any class of boat from single to octuple and points are awarded to participating clubs for the number of rower entries; these points accumulate throughout the series.

  • Sunday 12th May 2013

Sunday 12/05/13 - The day was bright and clear and the lake was its usual calm and glassy self. There were crews from Cambridge High School and Cambridge Masters, Waikato, Hamilton, Hauraki and Kings College along with lots of people to give them advice. The safety boats were manned by Don, John, Roger & Malcolm with Bryce & Jeannine an the finish and the late Mike bossing everyone around and CRC provided the barbeque for the cooking of the gourmet snags.
