Entries open and new adaptive events available at the 2026 British Rowing Masters Championships
For the first time, the Championships will welcome adaptive single sculls entries
Entries are now open for the 2026 British Rowing Masters Championships, taking place at Holme Pierrepont Country Park, Nottingham on 13-14 June. Last year鈥檚 British Rowing Masters Championships celebrated a record entry for the second year in a row, welcoming 939 crews from 128 clubs.
In 2025, entries were suspended ahead of the planned deadline for the first time due to reaching capacity so clubs are strongly encouraged to get their entries in (and paid) early to avoid disappointment!
New for 2026, the British Rowing Masters Championships will now host adaptive racing. Adaptive Single Sculls will race at Championship level for both Open and Women鈥檚 categories on the Sunday of the Championships.
The addition follows a record Para rowing entry at Henley Women鈥檚 Regatta in the Grosvenor Cup and a flurry of great adaptive finals at the 糖心传媒 Club Championships.
The British Rowing Masters Championships celebrates the very best of masters rowing across the UK, renewing rivalries and reigniting friendships. Masters rowers regularly travel from far and wide to attend the competition, including large numbers from Scotland as well as competitors from Ireland and Northern Ireland. It covers the broadest spectrum of ages welcoming rowers from 27 through to 80 year-olds.
One of the highlights from last year鈥檚 event came in the final of the Open Masters D Eights. Just 0.3 seconds separated the medallists as Kingston RC struck gold, 0.27 seconds ahead of Minvera Bath RC, who in turn were only 0.03 seconds quicker than one of several clubs from Ireland, Portora BC.
