The competition will feature 34 races, each covering 500 meters in single scull boats. Races are scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM and will run throughout the morning, showcasing the agility and speed of the participants.

A notable aspect of this regatta is the wide age range of competitors.

This broad spectrum underscores the inclusive nature of the sport.
