ABOUT THE 2017 WORLD ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS
From September 23 – October 1, 2017, the World Rowing Championships, an international
rowing regatta organized by FISA (the International Rowing Federation), will be held at Nathan
Benderson Park in Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida, the only Grade A course in the United States and
"where world-class athletes come to compete." In the 48 years of the event’s existence, the
United States has hosted only one other World Championships, in 1994 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This weeklong event is held at the end of the northern hemisphere summer. In non-Olympic
years, it is the highlight of the international rowing calendar. Rowing takes place in 21 different
boat classes for both men and women.
Our goal is to attract athletes, family, friends and fans from around the United States and the
world, to attend this world-class event, and grow the following of rowing in the US.
