32nd Head of the Genesee™ and 41st Textile River Regatta

October 4th - 11th, 2020

In these strangest of times, the local organizing committees from the Textile River Regatta in Lowell, MA and the Head of the Genesee in Rochester, NY have combined forces this year to offer a joint venture "virtual dual-regatta" based on the ReSport.io platform. We're hoping to do our part to help keep the pulse of fall racing season intact by offering these virtual versions of our events in a way that keeps the momentum into Spring 2021.

We hope you'll be able to join us. The format is pretty straightforward and unencumbered by excessive technology. Simply row your erg or your single on a 5k or 1k course of your choice during the week of October 4th through 11th and then upload your splits to the ReSport.io platform. Results will be posted in a reveal format on Sunday, October 11th from 10am to 2pm and we'll also send out direct links to the races for those who don't like the suspense.

And by all means please pass the word! The entire virtual rowing world is uncharted territory - we are hoping to see competitors from all corners of the globe this year given that getting to Rochester or Lowell is no longer a requirement! We expect to do outreach to 6 continents, and depending on the subscription rates, we may end up with data analytics to virtually rank the rowing world on parameters never visualized before.

Here are the key parameters:
