The San Diego Crew ClassicŪ is the premier spring rowing event on the West Coast. From its modest beginnings in 1973, the Crew Classic has matured into one of the largest regattas held primarily for eight-oared rowing shells. Today, it is a two-day, nationally acclaimed regatta for juniors, collegiate, masters and even Olympic-level competitors, set in the picturesque waters, sandy shores and green lawns of Mission Bay Park in San Diego, California. Approximately 4,400 athletes from more than 125 universities, clubs and high schools from across the United States, as well as the world, participate each year. Athletes, ranging in age from 14 to 84 years, compete in more than 100 races in various divisions. More than 25,000 spectators watch the races both from the shoreline, as well as on the popular Jumbotron on-site. San Diegans can be proud of the strong influence the regatta has had on the sport. San Diego Crew Classic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
