Row to Copenhagen: Adaptive Exhibition
SUPPORT CHICAGO'S 2016 OLYMPIC BID AND PARALYMPIC ROWING
Please join us and the Milwaukee
River Challenge as we highlight Paralympic Rowing and demonstrate our enthusiastic support for Chicago’s bid to host the 2016
Games as the October 2 announcement draws near.
The 9th Annual Milwaukee River Challenge was completed on September 19, 2009. Over 600 participants displayed their rowing skills
on this single leg 3 mile regatta on the Menomonee and Milwaukee Rivers in downtown Milwaukee. Results, race photos and
winner photos (first to third place for each class) are available now (see the above navigational tabs).
Several thousand spectators lined the rivers at Schlitz Park, the Harley-Davidson Museum and other locations to enjoy the regatta, the most accessible rowing race for viewing in the U.S.
Planning for the 10th regatta on September 18, 2010 is underway. Information regarding the 2010 regatta will be posted as it
becomes available.
On behalf of the many spectators and participants, thanks to our many sponsors for supporting the Milwaukee
River Challenge.
