- If you have a few hours between races, come to the regatta HQ tent at the Canoe Club and offer your services. It's fun!
- Registration - There is no registration, but you are welcome to check in with us at the regatta HQ tent at the Canoe Club.
- Weigh-ins will be held from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. on Friday and 8:00 to 12:30 on Saturday and Sunday at the Canoe Club. Competitors must weigh in each day they compete. Only one weigh-in per day is required. Coxswains do not weigh in.
- The safest and fairest way to run 267 races in July heat is to keep the regatta on schedule. We will be ruthless in starting races on time and will not hold races for any reason. Races will not be delayed for crews that are late to the line for any reason. Crews should be in their lanes and, for 2000 meter races, locked onto the stake boat two minutes before the start of their race.
- Bow numbers - It's the only way we can tell who you are as you cross the finish line. Each crew must supply its own bow numbers. Bow numbers will not be provided; however, bow numbers will be available for sale at the Regatta Headquarters tent at the Canoe Club, $12 for a set of 6.
- Be sure to sample some of the Wawa Welcome America celebrations this weekend. Lots of free activities for the family.

We have crews from Australia and England coming to the Independence Day Regatta:
