Important Information for Competitors

This page will be updated in advance of the 2022 IRA National Championship and will contain pertinent information for all competitors of the regatta.

Please note as you make travel plans that we have been advised that the regatta site will not be open for IRA trailers until after 9:00 AM on Wednesday, June 1, 2022. The course will open for practice at 12:00PM that afternoon.

Trailers arriving prior to 9am on Wednesday will not be permitted to line up within the park and will be subsequently turned away by Park Rangers. Further, boat plot sites will be pre-assigned, so there is no advantage to an early arrival.

Further, when the regatta is held in N.J. teams are not required to stay at specific hotel properties. Teams are welcome to stay at any hotel property they choose.
