Beyond the HOSR mission to conduct a safe and fair race on one of the most challenging courses in the country, we pride ourselves on providing a unique and unforgettable regatta experience. We work year-round to give back to the community and lead efforts in sustainability. We showcase Philadelphia and the Schuylkill River, not only as the birthplace of American rowing, but in its continued role as one of the most significant rowing venues in the country and home to legends in our sport and those in the making.
The two-day regatta takes place during the last full weekend of October. College crews race on Saturday along with the majority of para, elite and masters rowers, while high schools, and additional elite, masters and veteran events reign on Sunday. Recent years have seen the addition of alumni and family races! Competitors may row multiple events. More than 260 clubs, high schools and colleges participate annually, hailing from New Hampshire to Florida, California and Canada, Europe and Australia, with suburban Philadelphia and New Jersey schools notably represented.

The San Diego Crew Classic is the premiere spring rowing regatta. It is highly regarded among rowers spanning generations.

But the SDCC is more than just an event for rowing. San Diego is famous for its multi-faceted and multi-cultural experiences, events, and destinations. The Crew Classic is not only an athletic event with competitors at the peak of physical fitness, but a social gathering for enthusiasts to enjoy great local food, a beer garden with San Diego’s famous local craft breweries, and shopping all while soaking in Mission Bay, just a mile from the beach.

The San Diego Crew Classic was formed in 1973 by Patricia Stose Wyatt (a ZLAC member) and Joe Jessop, Sr., (an SDRC member), and other civic-minded San Diegans who intended to bring the nation’s top collegiate crews to Mission Bay in the spring for a showdown regatta.
