Competition Format

New this year, Iowa Games is partnering with the Cornhusker State Games to host this event at Carter Lake. Carter Lake is unique in that it’s Iowa territory that sits on the Nebraska border. Iowa participants will not only be competing against other Iowa rowers but against Nebraska rowers as well. This is sure to be an exciting event with some friendly state rivalry!

There will be 1,000 and 2,000 meter sprints. There is no limit to the number of events one may enter as long as the race schedule is not disrupted.
