Royal St. John’s Regatta Committee Announces New Race Category

The Royal St John’s Regatta Committee, in collaboration with St. John’s Pride, has announced the introduction of the Open Crew category, starting this season.

This category will be comprised of oarpersons determined by age only; gender will have no influence on the composition of a crew. Open Crews will compete in the short course and will be open to rowers who are registered in another category, thus permitting rowers the opportunity to be registered with a second crew.

The Open Crew category will join the existing race categories as a registration option for rowers going forward.

This will be the first time there is a registration option for individuals who identify as nonbinary.
