The event is the official regatta of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The George Washington University rowing program will host the event, which is the largest collegiate rowing competition in the Washington metropolitan area. Men's and women's crews from 14 universities, including the host Colonials, will compete in the day-long event with more than 400 rowers expected to take part. Also competing will be men's crews from Ohio State and Rochester and women's crews from Columbia, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Last year, the event was cancelled as a result of protests at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund buildings adjacent to the GW campus.
