2025 Rowing Calendar (provisional)
some dates not yet available
Page created 8 Jan 2022; last updated 21 Dec 2024
The information here is unofficial. If, for the event you are looking at, there are no links here to the 2025
information (after clearing your cache if necessary), it may perhaps be worth trying last year's link (if there is
one) from the 2024 calendar.
See also the
British Rowing
calendar in due course.
The dates here are mainly provisional, but give an outline for a few of the major national events,
and other events which have informed me of their planned dates.
