Join us at the Sin City Erg
- an indoor rowing event -
The Gay + Lesbian Rowing Federation will host an "ergatta" on Saturday, 18 January 2020 in Las Vegas for rowers, indoor and outdoor, ages 13 years and older. Although the event is targeted for the LGBTQ+ community, everyone is welcome, gay straight, transgender, non binary, men and women.
We will offer individual erg categories as well as team erg categories. Yes, team meaning there will be a heat and a final for 2X, 4X, and 8X teams, and this is a real race and NOT a relay! We are using a special software with the StrokeMaster erg to create the true team timed competition.
Registration is open at Regatta Central. For those indoor rowers who have never used Regatta Central, yes, you have to create an online profile but it is fast and easy and free. Team erg competitions will mirror a boat enrty for an on the water regatta: a team name will be entered, and the names of the participants for the entered. We have enabled club team names for ALL events so that participants can feel part of their group whether they are competing on their own if they are with a group who is competing in the team categories. We encourage club team names to be creative, playful, and mildly baudy.
