Spectator Tents:
There will be an area for spectator tents but the tents will be pitched on asphalt.
There are no areas that are shaded so please plan accordingly.
Picnic:
Capital will again be hosting a cookout at the conclusion of all races. (Please
note that you will want to bring any food/water provision that you will need during
the day as races will go until about 4 pm.)
We are asking all clubs to contribute to the Pot-Luck. Capital will supply the
burgers and hot dogs and we ask you to bring the following:
Last Names A-H Dessert
Last Names I–R Side dish
Last Names S-Z Drinks
Please email capsprints@capitalrowing.org as to whether your team will be
staying for the picnic, and if so, how many do you estimate attending. This
will be very helpful in planning the amount of food to be purchased.

Parking will again be in the Washington Navy Yard. Follow the attached
directions. There will be Capital Sprints Regatta signs along the streets. For
parking in the Navy Yard, please bring a valid ID with you for the gate check.

Parking for Boat Trailers and Car Top Shells:
Boat trailers and car top shells will be parked in designated spots within the
parking lot at the new Boathouse. Follow the attached directions. Please email
capsprints@capitalrowing.org immediately if you are bringing a boat trailer
or driving a car with shell(s) on top.
New Course and Traffic Pattern:
With the new boathouse upstream we have reversed the direction of the course.
It is a straight 1000 meter course passing through the Pennsylvania Bridge
around the 250m to go mark finishing across from the launch docks allowing
spectators a grand view of the finish. However, with a new course, it is very
important that the coxswains acquaint themselves with the layout. The attached
course layout will be discussed at the coxswains meeting posted at the
boathouse.
Apparel Sales:
Get your 11th Annual Capital Sprints T-Shirts! T-Shirts will be available for
purchase on Saturday.
Sportgraphics:
Sportgraphics will be taking photos and will be offering a 15% discount on all Cap
Sprints photos up until 30 days after the event.
