The 2002 Occoquan Challenge conditions were excellent for this USRowing officiated race. The Occoquan Challenge received over 155 entries for this regatta, well over a 40 percent increase from its second year. The Occoquan Challenge is unlike most fall races in that the race starts and begins at the same location and includes several challenging turns and straight-aways.

The purpose of the Occoquan Challenge is to not only offer a great race experience both on and off the water but invest all profits back into the rowing community through grants to rowing clubs throughout the country. Your investment in us allows us to help other rowing programs. The Challenge Foundation has received over eighty applications from programs all accross the country and will be announcing the winners of the 2002 Challenge Grant in the coming weeks. For more information on how you might be able to apply for the 2003 Challenge Rowing grant please contact us at: rowing@occoquanchallenge.com.

MANY course records were broken at this year’s regatta due to an increase in participation, excellent racing conditions and a course that had to be adjusted slightly due to the drought. Individuals and organizations that are marked in bold and have asterisks next to their name are 2002 record holders for that event and receive free entries for next year. To receive free entries for next year all record holders must register no later than September 1, 2003
