Team Registration

Be a part of the 2013 Fifth Annual IUPUI Regatta presented by Herff Jones

Each year, hundreds of paddlers race down the canal for IUPUI’s largest student-run event – the IUPUI Regatta presented by Herff Jones.  IUPUI Faculty, Staff, Students and Alumni are invited to form teams of four with up to two handlers/alternative paddlers to compete in the field of 112 teams. Registration will open August 19.  Team sponsors will be invited to register their sponsor team on August 12, a full week before the general public. 

The 2013 IUPUI Regatta Official Race Packet is now available and details the rules for this year’s event.  Review these carefully as the race has changed.

New in 2013
Refer to the Official Race Packet for details on these and other changes for 2013.

Teams will complete in one of three divisions (men’s, women’s and Coed) with overall winners in each division. Heat placements will be announced no later than Wednesday, September 18, to allow for better planning on race day. Registration on September 21 will be staggered throughout the morning to allow for teams to arrive closer to their scheduled heat. A new timing system will be used that all participants and fans can access on their mobile devices to get real-time race results.

Greater emphasis will be placed on sportsmanship and paddler safety on race day.  Supporting units and organizations can book their sponsored team beginning August 12.  Registration for the campus community begins August 19.
