Get Ready for Henley on the Hooch

November 9th, 2011 Posted by Races & Regattas 0 thoughts on “Get Ready for Henley on the Hooch”

It’s a tradition!   The race was started in 1996 and gets its name from the famed British Henley Regatta — the longest running sporting event in the world.  The Henley on the Hooch is back again, set this year for Saturday, Nov. 12.   Our annual race allows AJRA to go head-to-head in a little “friendly competition” with St. Andrew.  But, make no mistake-our AJRA rowers take it pretty seriously.  AJRA has won the Coaches Cup for the past seven consecutive years, and we don’t intend to stop now!

This is a great opportunity for friends and family to see rowing first hand right on our home stretch of the Chattahoochee, and close enough to get a good photo, too.  Food will be available for rowers and families.  Races are scheduled from approximately 8:50 a.m.- 11:40 p.m., followed by the trophy presentation at 12:20 p.m.  Exhibitions by the AJRA Developmental Squad will be held beginning at 8:00 a.m.  Here is the final race schedule but note that all rowers are expected to be present for the entire event.   Go AJRA!
