Rowing crews from UK, USA and Australia confirmed for Gallagher Great Race in Hamilton
By U LeisureThe University of Waikato welcomes back top international varsity crews from across the globe for this year’s Gallagher Great Race rowing regatta.
Fantastic international competition converges on Waikato in September as university crews from Harvard, Cambridge, Sydney and Melbourne compete against their Waikato hosts.
Sponsored by local business icon Gallagher since its inception in 2002, the Gallagher Great Race is now in its 14th year. It is superb world-class river racing action on a highly technical course.
Set to be yet another great spectacle, the eights will be challenged on the 3.85km course in the three boat upstream race. Navigating and handling the extremely strong, unpredictable currents of the Waikato River is not as easy as it looks.
Free for spectators, the Gallagher Great Race offers an exciting build up and race day with high drama, plenty of entertainment and top-class sporting action on show.
The Gallagher Great Race is a free local event on 13 September 2015
