2017 Race Qualifiers to World Indoor Championships

WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS (C.R.A.S.H. B's) TRIP QUALIFIERS  

CIRC in Toronto is a Satellite Regatta to the C.R.A.S.H. B's (World Indoor Rowing Championships).  As a Satellite race, we will award airfare to up to four (4) qualifiers to attend and race at the 35th World Indoor Rowing Championship, hosted by the CRASH-B Sprints, on February 12, 2017, at the Agganis Arena in Boston. There are typically over 2,200 entrants from around two dozen countries racing over the 2000m distance, with competitors ranging in age from age 14 to 100.

Race qualifiers are determined based on their race time posted at CIRC in the 2000 metre individual events and 1000 metre for Para events.  The age used in the qualification is the age on the date of the World's - February 12, 2017
