Watch CRLS Boys race today against Belmont Hill and Middlesex!- Five boats (1V – 5V) will be racing in the Powerhouse Stretch (Starting downstream of Weeks, finishing at Magazine Beach.)
- First race goes across the line at 3:15pm.
- Best places to watch are from the River Street or Western Ave. bridges, or at Magazine Beach.
- If you want to watch from Mag Beach, please do not park in the Trader Joe’s lot, as management has threatened to tow.
Some of our races run on the “Powerhouse” stretch of the Charles: A 1000-meter straightaway starting just downstream of the Weeks footbridge and ending just below the Riverside dock and boathouse. There is excellent race viewing, and you can pick your spot to see early, middle, or late stages of the races: along the Cambridge riverbank or from either of the Western Avenue and River Street bridges.
There is no designated parking for the course, and public parking can be scarce.
