This Weekend on the Charles

HELLO SPORTS FANS!

 

This Weekend on the Charles.  Take a look below folks.  Some information appears incomplete and some appears to contradict itself, so you might want to just keep your eyes open all the time and expect racing everywhere.  Please be sure to read down to see college and high school racing plans for Saturday, and Riverside's Annual Crusher Casey Challenge being held on Sunday.  All non combatants are asked to steer clear of race courses if possible and please use patience if you come upon a start time and crews lining up.

Boys and Girls Fours in the Powerhouse stretch.  One hour.  Start time TBA. 

 

 

11:00am - Belmont Hill v. BC High Scrimmage.  I think this is on the Powerhouse Stretch but it doesn't say for sure.  (Weeks to the Powderhouse at Magazine Beach).

 

NOON - Brookline High v. Boston Latin and Hinham.

Upstream 1500m powerhouse course

 

2:30pm to 4:30pm.  Belmont Hill v. Exeter/Deerfield

I assume this too is on the Powerhouse.

 

SUNDAY

6:30am - RBC Annual Crusher Casey Challenge

Sunday, April 7, 6:30am to 8:30am, RBC will hold its annual Crusher Casey Stake Race honoring one of its most famous members, professional wrestler and boxer and national champion rower on 2 continents, Steve "Crusher" Casey. 

 

This is an old fashioned stake race, with a likely course of RBC to Mass Ave and back, but bad weather or BU construction maneuvering could change the course to RBC through Anderson and Back.  Likely race start times are small boats off the line at 7:00am and big boats off the line at 7:30am.  Not alot of boats but lots of adreneline.

 

Please keep your eyes open for competitors during this time.  safey launches will be on the course, but please be on the lookout for racers - or adjust your workout to be out of the area.
