Baltimore Rowing Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baltimore Rowing Club is a rowing club located in Baltimore, Maryland.
The current version of the club was founded in 1979 and promotes competitive and non-competitive sculling, sweep rowing, and coxswaining. The club competes across many levels of experience, including masters, open, novice, and juniors.
The club makes its home in Middle Branch Park along the Patapsco River in the south Baltimore neighborhood of Cherry Hill, and shares its boathouse with a number of local school crews, including Johns Hopkins University, Loyola College, and UMBC.
Baltimore RC hosts three events each year.
- Great Baltimore Burn, an indoor regatta of 2000m erg sprints
- Charm City Sprints, a series of 1000m sprints on the Patapsco River
- Head of the Fort, a fall head race centered around Fort McHenry and held on or near Defenders Day
