AJRA rowers: Be ready to defend the coveted Coaches Cup as the overall team winner of the Henley on the Hooch, scheduled this year for Sat., Nov. 9. The annual race will see us go head-to-head with friendly rival St. Andrew for bragging rights. AJRA has won the Coaches Cup for the past nine consecutive years.
The race was started in 1996 and gets its name from the famed British Henley Regatta — the longest running sporting event in the world. It’s a great opportunity for friends and family to see rowing firsthand right on our home stretch of the Chattahoochee. Food will be available for rowers and families, and you can also purchase spirit wear!
The tentative schedule calls for a 7:30 am coaches and coxswain meeting with racing taking place between 8am and noon. The D Squad exhibition races will be in the middle of the schedule. The trophy presentation is scheduled at approximately 12:30pm at Azalea Park with the event expected to conclude by 1pm.
Unless a squad is told otherwise by their coach, all rowers should report to the boathouse by 7:30am. All Novice and Varsity rowers are expected to be present for the entire event.
Go AJRA!
