Practices & Races

Group Practices

Practices are held on the Schuylkill and launch from the Triathlon Beach near the Adaptive Rowing Boathouse on MLK Drive, near the intersection of MLK and Black Road. We hold morning, evening, and weekend practices and these practices are announced on TeamSnap.

Races

We will participate in several races throughout the season, including the New York Liberty Challenge, the Washington Monumental, the Blackburn Challenge, and our own Hoe Wa’a Challenge, which will be held on August 17-19, 2018, in Brigantine, New Jersey.
Our race committee is committed to both racing competitively and exposing members to the race experience, often sending several crews to each race.
