Useful Info & Links

The ARA website provides a large amount of useful information about racing competitively and also has some coaching tips. You will need to be an ARA member if you want to race in ARA events (ie most races), although some races on the Cam are run under CRA rules.

The Cambridge Rowing Association website has a lot of interesting information about rowing history in Cambridge, along with some vital info about local races including the Bumps (including the rather complex rules of entry!).
