The Head of the Schuylkill Regatta is a 2.5-mile head race on the Schuylkill River in Historic Fairmount Park/Philadelphia, PA. Founding principle…a race for everyone who rows!
NOTE: A rowing head race is one where competitors race the clock sequentially over a course typically 2 – 3 miles long – compared to the spring and summer side-by-side sprint races of 1000 to 2000 meters.
ROWING PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH A DESIRABLE TARGET AUDIENCE.
- Thousands of students compete in the sport at the high school and college level. (This number continues to grow.)
- Many continue to row after graduation, well into their adult and retirement years.
- Increasing numbers discover rowing as adults and more than 50% begin rowing again after the age of 30. It is a sport for a lifetime.
- Above average household income – Average household income for rowers over 30 is $110,000 - $150,000 (2008)
- Above average educations - Over 87% percent of rowers over the age of 25 are college graduates and 47% also hold advanced degrees.
HEAD OF THE SCHUYLKILL DEMOGRAPHICS:
- 79% come from the Mid-Atlantic region
- 11% from the Philadelphia region
- In 2010 there were rowers from 26 states, 4 provinces and 6 countries.
- 5600+ competed in 2009
An additional 5,000 – 8,000 attendees are SUPPORTERS AND SPECTATORS.
VOLUNTEERS:
