Stay tuned to this space for updates about the 2024 regatta. We usually start with messaging here in this space around August 15th. In the meantime, use the links above to look at the course map, prior results, and photos from past regattas.
The online payment system for Team Tent Reservations and Vendor Tents should be available by August 1st. Mark your calendar, and be assured that there will be ample space for everyone along the boulevard in the 1km stretch to the finish line area.
In the meantime... Send your questions to info@textileriverregatta.org. We are especially kind and helpful to coaches and coxswains coming to their first Textile.
06 October 2024 -- THANKS FOR PLAYING
Most feedback was positive, and the weather could not be beat, so we hope you agree that today was one of the better Textiles in recent years. We're always looking to improve, so feel free to send us your feedback, pro and con. Thanks for coming!
05 October 2024 - One Day to Textile
27 September 2024
22 September 2024
Just a reminder that escaped our notice in 2023: USRowing rule 2-409(a) prohibits the use of amplified equipment by supporters, and this goes for those along the boulevard in the final stretch of the Textile course. "You are free to use the unaided voice, but amplification is strictly forbidden. The appropriate penalty would be excluding the crew. A disqualification is reserved for the worst behavior and requires us to report it to USRowing."

The Event Schedule is nearly locked down. If you've been in conversation with us for certain promises, now would be a good time to re-check the schedule to make sure we're good. Bow numbers will be assigned either tomorrow afternoon or early Thursday. After that point, you'll need to be a die-hard Yankee fan with season tickets to get any kind of consideration regarding the schedule.

Thanks for playing! We appreciate your support this year at Textile 2022 and hope your season remains productive. If you have any feedback pro or con, please send it our way at info@textileriverregatta.org. We particularly appreciate that you all rolled with the punches and unfortunate weather cancellations. With some luck, we'll get better cooperation from the weather vendor next year.
Final results can be found on our Results Page or directly at HereNOW.com. And we've posted some photos on our Photo Album page. Please visit the photo gallery and upload your photos from yesterday.
Let's start a little Lost and Found list - if you have anything to add, send it our way and we'll add it to the list. Contact us if you have any information about these items.
If you still want a Textile 2022 T-Shirt, please contact N&D Sports. There's probably a good chance that they have some leftovers from the regatta.

The factory is closed. No more entries. We will be tweaking the event start times for better gapping but do not anticipate any changes to the order of the events.
In other news... We modified the COVID policy... MAPS are updated... Note that Saturday check-in is from 2pm to 4pm, not later in the day as it has been in year's past... The Event Program will be a virtual PDF downloadable from this space, we hope to post it by Wednesday night... The Zoom link to the C&C Meeting on Friday night at 7pm will be posted here by Thursday...
Some recent and popular email questions, answered: Yes, you can bring a food truck and kids are allowed to eat on site. Park the trailer on the boulevard but please try to hide it with your boat trailer. Detach the cab. There is no food concession except for the Dunkin across the street. Boat trailers can park on the boulevard starting Friday night, don't expect the Trailer Lot to be accessible until Saturday afternoon. Dogs on leashes are welcome but not on the docks. Follow us on Twitter @textilerr and yes that's a double-r at the end... Race calls will be made by public address around the boathouse but also on Twitter... We might have a Zoom session open all day Sunday if possible, stay tuned.
01 October 2022
Follow Route 3 South into Massachusetts. Take exit 32 off of Route 3 at North Chelmsford. You will immediately be on a rotary. Well it was a rotary a few years ago. Now it's some hack of a traffic design that only a Bostonian could love. Basically, you want to straight off the exit, get to your left so that you can make a left to cross back over Rt 3 and head straight onto Drum Hill Road. Two or three orbits of this interchange should be all you need to master these directions. You're on Drum Hill Road when you see paradise - a Starbucks on the left and a Dunkin Donuts on the right among other strip mall tenants. Follow this road straight through TWO sets of lights. At your THIRD set of lights bear left through the fork. Follow straight through TWO MORE sets of lights (Market Basket on left and White Hen Pantry on your right). This will put you on the Rourke bridge which passes over the Merrimack river. Take a right off of the bridge. The boathouse is 200 meters down on the right.
Follow either I-495 North or 128 North (i.e., I-95 N). Take to Route 3 North. Take exit 32 off of Route 3 at Rt.4 in Chelmsford. Take your first right at the stop at the top of the exit. Follow that straight through two sets of lights. At your third set of lights bear left through the fork. Follow this road straight through two more sets of lights (Market Basket on left and White Hen Pantry on your right). This will put you on the Rourke bridge which passes over the Merrimack river. Take a right off of the bridge. The boathouse is 200 meters down on the right.
If you coming from northeast MA, Portsmouth NH, or coming down 95 from Maine, take 95 South to 495 South. Take to Route 3 North. Take exit 32 off of Route 3 at Rt.4 in Chelmsford. Take your first right at the stop at the top of the exit. Follow that straight through two sets of lights. At your third set of lights bear left through the fork. Follow this road straight through two sets of lights. At your third set of lights bear left through the fork (green arrow for left). Follow straight through two more sets of lights (Market Basket on left and White Hen Pantry on your right). This will put you on the Rourke bridge which passes over the Merrimack river. Take a right off of the bridge. The boathouse is 200 meters down on the right.
Your GPS has a major flaw. It correctly tells you that the route TO the regatta is to get off at the Drum Hill exit of Route 3 and take the Rourke Bridge directly to the boathouse, but fails to let you know that leaving the regatta late in the afternoon is far easier if you DON'T use the Rourke bridge. As with any event on this scale, the traffic going to the event is more evenly spread out than at the conclusion of the event when everyone wants to leave at the same time. There are many bridges crossing the Merrimack north and south of the Rourke, and they are all trailer-friendly.
So here are some valuable tips on how to leave the regatta with your santity intact. High School and Collegiate rowers: Please relay this information to your trailer driver, coaches and parents.
You should figure that the height of Rourke congestion will be somewhere between 3:30pm and 5pm. So please consider these alternate routes to make a clean getaway.
If you're facing west from the parking lot when you try to leave heading east, you can make a right turn on many of the intersecting streets to get yourself going east.
We will be working with the Lowell PD to make your exit as pleasant and expeditious as possible.
The SDAFL site shown on the map is also known as the "Rourke Ramp Launch Site". But this year we don't have the personpower to staff this location so it will be closed for launching but available for trailer CAB and BUS parking. The popular Beach Launch Area is OPEN this year. If your bus or cab driver wants to attend the regatta, consider driving them back from the Rourke Ramp Lot by car before you park in the convenient Main Lot across from the Boathouse.
Sorry, NO COURTESY BUS this year. If you are a bus or trailer driver, drop your cargo along the boulevard, follow the yellow dots to park your bus or cab in the ROURKE RAMP LOT and have a teammate or parent with a car bring you back to the venue before they park in the MAIN LOT (cars only, $20 all day).
All cars must be parked in one of the two lots conveniently located near the venue ($20 on Sunday in the MAIN LOT), or FREE if you can find the very few on-street parking spaces. Heed the "no parking" signs because the private property owners are free to tow. Unfortunately, the CORP LOT is closed this year for repaving. Handicapped parking is available on the boulevard near the Boathouse and in the HCP lot near the Beach Launch site. There are no exceptions - there are mercenary towing companies (out of our control) who are on call with free reign to tow cars that are parked on the boulevard or in other areas where they should not be. If you are tempted to park on a side street or in the lot of a nearby business, be aware that the mercenary tow companies have contracts to operate on nearly every square inch outside of the MAIN LOT (Regatta Field) and any legal on-street parking. If your car has been towed and you contact us to complain, we will send you a link right back to this page. Again, "no parking" should be taken literally.
Car-top drop offs are available near the Boathouse and the Beach Launch site but NOT at the Rourke Ramp (SDAFL) launch site which is not available in 2022. At both drop-off locations, find a suitable space on the grounds to situate and secure your boat, keep your car flashers on, and then quickly move your car or SUV to one of the two main lots. It is VITAL that your car doesn't inhibit the arrival of trailers because your space becomes wasted boulevard capacity if two trailers surround you before you move to the parking lot.
There are many U-Turn opportunities along the boulevard, and they come with a dedicated U-Turn lane. If you see an opening for a U-Turn but it doesn't have a dedicated U-turn lane, then it's not a legal U-turn and you are very likely to get rear-ended if you try to use them. Happens all the time. Please obey traffic laws.
Clubs with trailers need to register the trailer with Check-In at the Boathouse when they arrive either Saturday between 03:00pm and 05:00pm or on Sunday morning starting at 06:00am.
To speedup the process, REGISTER YOUR TRAILER and then simply confirm with Check-In at the Boathouse when you arrive. We ask you to register in case we need to contact a trailer owner to have it moved. Parking for your Cab/Tow Vehicle is free at the ROURKE RAMP LOT.
Trailers are a constant source of amusement and anguish at the Textile. While we haven't changed much for 2024, we are making an attempt here to give better guidance on how to arrive and depart with a trailer and also offer some common sense guidelines to streamline the process.
If you haven't heard this elsewhere, the 2024 TRR is a one-day regatta on Sunday Oct 6th. The Saturday before the regatta is for setup, staging, and also for trailer arrivals. Trailers can arrive as early as Friday evening (park along the boulevard) and well into Saturday night. Parking in the main "Trailer Lot" isn't allowed until late Saturday afternoon when the cars start to clear out. Your expectation about parking in the Trailer Lot should include meeting up with a Textile rep at the lot as you arrive. We try to organize the lot carefully because it's very close to the main launch site. Also, check with your coach - if the plan for your team is to launch from the Beach Area, then the Trailer Lot will mean nothing to you since it's a full half-mile away from the Beach.
Roughly working from the top of the map to the bottom:
We try to manage the arrangement of trailers in the main Trailer Lot a little more carefully than we do anywhere else. Everyone wants to be close to the main docks, and that puts this popular location right on top of the dock queues.
The map and notes below are trying to show that trailers entering the trailer lot should meet a few nominal conditions, and arrival timing has a lot to do with how successful we are in packing the lot.
Check back soon.
Hotel and Restaurant Management: If you would like to offer preferred rates or discounts to attendees of the Textile River Regatta, please send your information to info@textileriverregatta before Sunday September 29th for posting here on our site. Please be advised that due to time limitations we are not able to engage in protracted discussions or offer firm quantities for block rooms or minimum attendance.

For navigation purposes, tell your magic navigation device to take you to "500 Pawtucket Blvd Lowell MA".
Route 3 south to OLD exit 32. I have no idea what the new exit number is, and I'm not about to drive up there just to find out. Left at the second light at the far end of the square rotary onto Drum Hill Rd. Several lights to the Rourke Bridge, make a right off the bridge.
On 495 take OLD exit 35B to get you onto Route 3 heading North. Route 3 north about 2 miles to OLD exit 32. Make a right at the top of the exit onto Drum Hill Rd. Several lights to the Rourke Bridge, then make a right off the bridge.
Note for friends and family: You really cannot get to the starting line of the course. Your best viewing experience is down near the finish line, and the boat you are cheering for is likely to appear in the home stretch anywhere from 12 to 25 minutes after the Start Time shown in the schedule assuming that the races are on schedule.
The schedule below is always in flux until we say it's final here in this spot. It normally goes final on the Wednesday before the regatta, and at that point the TRR/RC event numbers will be aligned and the bow numbers are assigned. Current version:

Classifications |
|
AGE DEFINITION: | Age is defined as your age on December 31, 2024. (New in 2016 - changed to agree with FISA/HOCR) |
ABOVE ALL: | Regardless of any overlaps you might find in the categorization of rowers or events, rowers in high school or youth rowing club programs cannot row in an event or with a crew that has collegiate rowers. Period. End of discussion. |
NOVICE: | |
LIGHTWEIGHT: |
(Changed in 2011, now agrees with HOCR)
|
AGE CLASSIFICIATIONS: |
The age classifications below are provided for possible future use. However, since the TRR does not have age-specific or decade-specific Masters events, our rule is that any rower 23 years or older and not affiliated with a collegiate or secondary school rowing program may row in a Masters event. The USRA calculation for handicaps will apply to all Masters events.
|
CLUB: |
Textile River Regatta definition in effect as follows:
Limited to person (including coxswains) who in ANY sculling or sweep-oared event (master or veteran events excepted) DID NOT:
Race officials reserve the right to classify foreign crews into the appropriate event based on the racing experience of the competitors in the boat. |
JUNIOR / YOUTH: |
Any rower presently enrolled in secondary school. We
consider this to be the equivalent of "HS" or "High School"
designations used in the past. |
U23 / COLLEGIATE: | Any rower presently enrolled in college or university and not eligible for U19 designation. We consider the U23 USRowing defintion to be the equivalent of the TRR "Collegiate" designation. Also includes a post graduate rower under the age of 23. |
MIXED: |
In a Mixed event, crew must consist of equal numbers of men and
women, not including the coxswain. Note that all Mixed events at
the TRR use USRA handicapping to economize on the number of
separate events we offer. |
Rules |
|
COURSE: | The Textile River Regatta is rowed over a nominal 4,500 meter course beginning below Tyng Island and finishing along the Heritage State Park walkway, approximately 1,000 meters south of the Bellegarde boathouse. The course is clearly marked along its length with buoys. |
LAUNCH SITES: |
Boats are to launch from the docks at the UML Bellegarde Boathouse ("BOATHOUSE") or the
City of Lowell Beach located next to the Pavilion (downstream from the
boathouse about a mile, known as "BEACH"). Singles, 2x/2- and 4x/4-/4+ may launch from the Rourke Boat Ramp ("SDAFL") upriver from the
boathouse about 3/4 mile [New in 2014]. While there is ample room for trailers in the parking lot of this location, the docks are not
long enough to launch eights. Each of the three launch sites is staffed by one or more Dockmasters who have the authority for launching operations,
traffic patterns and priorities at each site.
Priority will be given to boats launching for an event over those returning from a previous event. All boats should launch no later than sixty minutes prior to the start of their event. A Dockmaster will be present to expedite boat traffic. ALWAYS launch and dock with the bow pointed upstream. Boats should STAY ON THE NORTH SIDE of the river upon launching. This is the same side as the boathouse. The travel lane is entirely on the north side - there is NO river crossing. Keep ample berth between the land on starboard and the course, which is designated by RED buoys on PORT. |
BUOYS: | RED buoys mark PORT side of the course, and GREEN buoys
mark the STARBOARD side. What this means: Keep the RED buoys to PORT at
all times, both going upriver to the Start and on the course. YELLOW buoys
mark hazards. Do not try to put your oars over a yellow buoy as it might
have drifted and you could hit the hazard it is marking. Do not attempt to
go between a green buoy and the shore, even on your way up to the starting
line!!!! Giant ORANGE buoys mark the start and the finish lines.
To Emphasize and Summarize:
|
START: |
Each entrant is responsible for arriving at the marshalling area ten
minutes prior to the start of their event. Boats will be started in order
by bow number at approximately ten second intervals. Late-arriving boats
may lose their starting position or be excluded from the race at the
discretion of the Starter. Boats must pass through the starting buoys to
be officially recognized.
Crews late to the start may start at the discretion of the referees at the start line. If a late crew is allowed to start, a time will be recorded, however the publication of this time within the results of the original event and/or the boat's standing in the event are not guaranteed. To do your warm-ups, move past the orange buoys marking the marshalling area at the Start. Make sure you do not continue upstream out of earshot of the marshals. |
FINISH: |
Participants not passing between the two finishing buoys with bow marker
intact are subject to exclusion from the race. Once beyond the finish
line, boats MUST clear the Finish line and row clear of all the orange
bouys following the finish line before turning. This is so you do not
block the other crews as they cross the line. Impeding boats that are
still racing constitutes a major (30 second) violation.
Warning: There is a waterfall approximately 1500 meters past the
Finish line. You should avoid rowing over the falls if at all
possible.
To return to the docks, turn to port and return to the docks in the return lane along the wall. Dock carefully with safety in mind and LISTEN for the Dockmaster's instructions. |
ELIGIBILITY: | See Classifications at the top of this page. |
EQUIPMENT: | Bowmarkers and bibs must be picked up at the Registration desk (one per boat per race). All boats launching must have their bowmarkers secured. Bowmarkers will be collected at the launch site. BOWCLIPS: All boats must have a bow clip to which a bowmarker can be secured. We won't have spare bow clips at the regatta, so make sure your boat is equipped. BOW BALL: All shells MUST be equipped with a bowball. HEEL STRAPS: All boats MUST have heel straps securely in place at launch time per USRA rules. This is a cool-weather regatta and heel strap compliance is a very popular item with the referees. |
PENALTIES & PROTESTS: |
Regatta Marshals and USRowing Referees along the course will be responsible for assessing penalties, USRowing Referees
are responsible for hearing your protests. In the event you wish to protest, notify any Textile staff person who will
direct you to a referee. USRowing rules shall apply if not specifically mentioned below.

The TRR Committee welcomes vendors in the rowing community who wish to set up their tent at the Textile River Regatta on Sunday. We provide ample space between the Boathouse and Beach Launch Areas where rowers and guests are concentrated. We also offer advertising on our web sites and ad space in our Event Program at very affordable rates.
The regatta itself typically brings over 600 boats to the Merrimac River for a great day of racing and fun. Accompanying those boats are the over 3,000 competitors that row them, and a few thousand friends and family, all within a short walk of where we locate the vendor area downriver from the boathouse.
If you can't make it to the regatta, or just wish to increase your exposure to the rowing community, we offer the options of advertising on our MRRA and TRR rowing web sites and in the TRR Event Program. Our web sites generate high traffic, especially in the days before and after the TRR, and your ads are good for a full year from first posting.
NOTE: Please note that the TRR has a signed contract with N&D Sports for official TRR merchandise for 2024. Merchandise may not carry any reference to the Textile River Regatta without prior approval from the TRR and N&D Sports.
Tent space or ads can be reserved by selecting one of the options below and paying online, via PayPal or any major credit card, or via check sent in advance of the event. If you pay by check, it must arrive by the Friday before the regatta. Please make out check to Textile River Regatta Committee and send to:

Contact us at vendors@textileriverregatta.org
Write to us at info@textileriverregatta.org.
In the days leading up to the regatta, sending us an e-mail is the best way to contact us, by far. We do have a phone number which is set to always go to voice mail, so if you've been invited to call us or you're feeling lucky, leave a message at (978) 710-8017
You can reserve your Team Tent spaces for 2024. Use the form at the bottom of this page to make your reservation.
Reservations are $75 for a 10' x 20' tent space. Tents are not included. Reservations are on a first-come first-served basis according to the date of payment using the PayPal link below. Space is limited. If we cannot accommodate your first preference, we will contact you to see if an alternate area is suitable or else promptly issue you a refund.
Reservations will hold your tent space for your setup starting on Saturday after 1pm. We expect to have your spaces staked out with signage by Friday night before the regatta, but we may be running into Saturday morning. Confirm your exact space location at the registration desk at the Boathouse sometime around Friday night.
Once confirmed, your space will be designated on our site map so that your crew and guests will be able to locate your camp site quickly. It's also a convenient way to know that you'll have a specific rally point in advance of your arrival at the regatta.
Note that these spaces are not intended for boat rigging. It simply gives you a way to have a pre-defined place for your team, boosters, parents and alumni to meet. Also note that trailer parking is not guaranteed, so it may be difficult to co-locate your trailer with the reserved tent space. All spaces are along the river walk above and below the boathouse and have perfect views of the last 1k of the racing. Area C is closest to the Finish line; Area D is below the Finish.
Also note that we allocate and stake the space on strict 20' boundaries. If you don't think your team will fit into a 10' x 20' space, please reserve two or more spaces as necessary and we will be able to insure that your spaces are together.

Use the map above to determine where you'd like to reserve tent space. Use the PayPal link below to choose your preferred area, and then complete the checkout process in PayPal. Space is limited. If we cannot honor your request for any reason, we will let you know and issue a prompt refund.
The Tent Reservation system is closed. It's too late to make a tent reservation for this year's regatta.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not elect to reserve tent space, we kindly ask that you respect the signage for those areas that have been set aside for clubs that made reservations. This may conflict with the location where you 'typically' set up at the TRR, but rest easy that there will be ample room for everyone - 80% of the venue space is open and not available for reservations. The point of making a reservation is for the convenience of having a known location and rally point for your team in advance of your arrival.

We are excited to be hosting the Textile River Regatta in 2022, and the health and safety of our athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and spectators is of paramount importance. Consistent with guidance from the CDC and the state of MA, as well as the Covid policies in place at U Mass Lowell, the TRR will operate under the guidance established by UMass/Lowell here: https://www.uml.edu/alert/coronavirus/. As it specifically relates to the regatta this year, the following clarifications are in effect:
The Textile River Regatta Committee is responsible for this message and reserves the right to change the policy at anytime. If you have any questions please Contact Us.
The Textile depends on its volunteers! As an all-volunteer enterprise in a sport that prides itself on team work, we are setting a baseline expectation that each club should bring us at least one volunteer to help with the regatta production. Compensation will be commensurate with the swag we always provide to our volunteers, and that usually means a t-shirt, lunch and priority access to staff for special requests. We'll still have the other perks for donating a launch or other equipment we might need, so stay tuned to the home page for other ways in which you can get entry comps. Send your warm-blooded volunteers here: VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION FORM.
