USRowing Announces Host Sites for the 2025 USRowing Indoor National Championships

USRowing is pleased to announce the five host sites for the 2025 USRowing Indoor National Championships. With three regatta partners in 2024, we’re excited to add to that with a couple continued partnerships, and multiple new locations, who will make the event more accessible for athletes to compete in person. Designed to offer greater access and flexibility for a wide range of indoor enthusiasts, competitors can participate at five official host locations for a chance at a national championship. 

Compete at your regional host site for a chance to showcase your skills, test your limits, and go head-to-head with athletes from across the country in competing for the prestigious title of National Champion! Our Indoor National Championships will all take place on February 1, and race results from the official host sites will be aggregated in real time on the official USRowing National Leaderboard. At the conclusion of the final competition at the last site, USRowing will crown national champions for each of the 100 plus events. The top three finishers on the National Leaderboard for each event will also receive a USRowing National Championships medal in recognition of their achievements.
