More than 300 rowers and 20 rowing teams from Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and Germany will compete in the 1,000-meter sprint races that are the Route 66 Regatta, sponsored by the Tulsa Rowing Club. Races will take place on the Arkansas River and will begin south of the 21st Street Bridge and finish near the River West Festival Park. Spectators can watch a full slate of 30 high school, college and master’s crew races from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. The best place to view races is at the Tulsa Rowing Club boathouse, 715 West 21st Street, near the floating amphitheater on the Arkansas River’s west bank. Food and drink concessions will be available, along with merchandise tents offering T-shirts and rowing apparel. Plus, the Blue Rose Cafe will feature race day drink specials and rowing related events. Spectators of all ages will have the opportunity to sign up for a learn-to-row class so they can try rowing for themselves, too. Regatta!
