Beach Sprints: Fast, Fierce, and Fun!

Beach Sprints is a thrilling, fast-paced rowing format where two boats race head-to-head in short, intense heats. Each race begins with a beach sprint by one crew member, followed by a 250m row out to sea. Competitors navigate a slalom around two buoys, turn at a third, and race straight back to shore. The final dash up the beach ends with a dramatic dive to hit the buzzer—often deciding the winner by mere seconds.

Over two action-packed days, crews battle it out to be crowned the British Beach Sprints Champion. Beyond the racing, the event offers a vibrant atmosphere with live DJ sets, expert commentary, and engaging exhibitors.

It’s a fantastic day out for friends and family to enjoy the beach, cheer on future Olympians, and soak up the excitement—all completely free!
