The five days of racing will feature competitions among more than 2,000 of the best rowers from around the country and some from other countries.

Key to the success of this championship regatta are the officials from US Rowing, experts in the sport who are from all walks of life and from all parts of the US.

Also very important are the more than 300 volunteers — some of whom will drive officials in launch boats to ensure the safety and fairness of the races.

Other volunteers, mostly high school and college students, will man stake boats (starting platforms) for the races.
Last year’s Club Nationals on Cooper River became the largest event US Rowing had ever operated. Camden County and Rutgers Alumni Rowing Team also sponsored that event.
