ENTRY OPENS EARLY THIS YEAR
HEAD OF THE YARRA ENTRY OPENS IN 2 STAGES THIS YEAR.
1. On March 5th Interstate and Overseas entry opens to enable these clubs and schools to reserve spots and plan their accomodation and logistics for the event.
2. On August 4th entry opens for local Victorian clubs with an entry quota reserved (based on historical Victorian race entry) to facilitate Victorian club entry.
(NOTE: Entry quotas are in place for both Victorian and Interstate entry to manage the 280 boat race capacity. Also note the only details required for entry reservations will be club, race category and a crew contact email. Crew names and seating details are required before race close, October 13th 2025).
Terms of Entry. The 2025 seat fee is $75. In a bid to better manage the race cap of 280 crews, on entry there will then be an immediate invoicing to ensure limited race slots have commitment. Payment of the entry invoice is required within 7 days. If payment has not been made within 7 days the entry will be forfeited for redistribution. Note that 50% of race fee is non-refundable. This component is treated as an entry commitment.
Entrants who missed racing on race day in 2024. Complimentary race slots have been reserved for crews whose races were cancelled last year due to heat effects in the early afternoon. These reservations will appear in the entry lists at Race Open on March 5th. Please advise if you are not taking up any of these complimentary race slots so they can be released for others.
The 2025 Race entry is capped at 280 crews. Book early when each of the entry dates arrive to reserve your crews spots for Australia’s Rowing Classic.
