Race Courses

Whitby is an unparalleled venue for rowing races. Beach sprints, Long/short distance sea racing, and a 3km stretch of river. We are truly spoilt for choice. 

Some of these courses have been raced along for Centuries. Why not get yourself a stopwatch (or one of the many GPS racing apps) and see how your times stack up!
