Dear college captains,
The February leg of CRA Winter League is coming up – next Sunday 18 February.
Enter your crews for 2.6km of type-2 fun! Leg 2 features special CUCBC race categories, with pots awarded at the end of the day. This is a great prep-race for WeHORR/ManHORR, and a nice mid-season target for lower boats.
Row-throughs can be arranged. We strongly encourage crews to avoid training outings around 10am-11am, as the river will be extremely busy. Afternoon row-throughs will make for better boating.
If you have the capacity to host a visiting club please let us know on winter...@crarowing.co.uk. The requirement would be for access for one trailer and space to rig boats. Our CRA friends from Ely, St Neots and beyond are joining us, and we are hoping to avoid congestion outside 99s/old CRA/City.
Entries close for February leg: 11.59pm Wed 14 Feb 2024 or when entries have filled

For those not familiar with this epic event…
Many colleges choose to enter just the February event. There are special college prizes just for those entering the February event, so you don’t have to enter all three events.
How do I sign up?

If you have any questions, the organising team from X Press and Cambridge 99s can be reached via winter...@crarowing.co.uk – though please be patient with us over the Christmas break.
We have also set up a WhatsApp group for race secretaries and club captains for important updates (eg: weather and safety announcements) so we can get info to clubs as quickly as possible, while updating the website.
