On behalf of the residents of Clermont County, we are delighted to welcome the USRowing National Championships back to Clermont County!

Harsha Lake, in beautiful East Fork State Park, is among the top competitive rowing sites in the United States.

To all USRowing Regatta Fans and Competitors:

As a lifelong sailor and boating enthusiast, I could not be more excited to welcome rowers and spectators alike to our beautiful state! All of us at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) have been looking forward to this event for months, and we’re excited to be a part of rowing history. I’m so impressed by this strong commitment to USRowing and to the development of our youth that brings us together at East Fork State Park. Clermont County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, our park staff, and numerous volunteers have worked tirelessly to make this event one of the nation’s best rowing events, to feature the premier natural rowing course in North America, and to showcase the nation’s best competitors.

Whether you are one of the 2,000 participating athletes or one of the 15,000 spectators at this year’s National Championships, I am confident you will have an enjoyable experience while visiting East Fork State Park. I hope you take the time to explore our wonderful natural resources throughout the region. East Fork State Park has 4,870 acres to explore with 131 total trail miles that include bridle, mountain biking, and hiking, all with amazing scenery.

To the spectators we hope you enjoy your visit to the Queen City. To the competitors, we wish you all the best of luck.

Best Regards,

Lance Hopkins, Park Manager 4 Dear USRowing National Championships Participants and Supporters: On behalf of the board of directors, staff, coaches, athletes and membership of USRowing, I would like to welcome you to the 2019 USRowing National Championships at Harsha Lake in Bethel, Ohio. Most recently known as the USRowing Club National Championships, the USRowing National Championships has dropped “Club” from its title to reflect the reintegration of the elite-level race categories to the event. The regatta now features racing in the under 17, under 19, intermediate and senior/elite categories. In total, national championship racing is being offered in 88 events including 14 different para/adaptive rowing race categories, and more than 2,000 athletes from member organizations across the country will compete over the six days. In addition, the USRowing National Championships will serve as the final regatta in leg one of the 2019 U.S. Lotman Challenge. Created by the Philadelphia Gold Challenge Cup Federation to help promote and develop sculling in the United States, the 2019 challenge will cover three different race distances over the course of the year. Leg one of the challenge is comprised of three separate USRowing regattas to select the top seven male and female open weight single scullers to move on to leg two at the Head of the Charles. The 2019 Lotman Challenge culminates with the U.S. Lotman Challenge Final on October 26 at Cooper River Park in Camden, N.J. USRowing would like to thank our partners from the Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau for putting on this event. We also would like to thank the team of volunteers for making this event a reality. Without your help, we would not be able to put on this event. Finally, we would like to thank our corporate partners and event sponsors. Their support is instrumental to our organization and to this event. Thank you for coming and good luck this week! Sincerely,

Patrick McNerney USRowing Chief Executive Officer
