Henley on Hooch Moved to Nov. 9

The Henley on the Hooch — originally scheduled for Sat., Nov. 16 — will now be held on Sat., Nov. 9.  Held annually since 1998, this race sees AJRA go head-to-head against St. Andrews Rowing in a friendly competition for bragging rights.  AJRA has won the coveted Coaches Cup for the past nine years.  The race takes place on our home stretch of the Chattahoochee and is the traditional end to our fall season.
Exhibition races by AJRA’s Development Squad are held as part of the Henley, which will also mark the end of the fall D Squad season.
The date change was necessary because of dock repairs scheduled at St. Andrews’ facility.

Row for the Cure

AJRA gives back!

Join us this Sat., Sept. 21, for Row for the Cure at the Azalea Park Pavilion, located approximately 1/2 mile west of the AJRA boathouse.  AJRA will join with Atlanta Rowing Club and St. Andrews Rowing to raise money for Breast Cancer research. Each squad is putting together one boat consisting of the two Novice Men,  Novice Women,  Varsity Men, and Varsity Women who donated the most money benefiting the local chapter of Susan G. Komen.

 
In addition to the race, which is planning to go up the river at noon, there will be a cookout for families and rowers from each of the rowing clubs. Lunch will be served from 11:00 – 12:30. All are welcome.
We hope to see you at Azalea Park and the pavilion on Saturday.
