Rowing Lane: 

The warming up lane is on the North side of the canal (cyclist side), the race lane will be on the South side of the canal (car side)

Singles:

This year there will be a distinction made within the singles between SA and SB rowers. For both categories there is a different ranking, both categories including an award ceremony. However, both SA and SB rowers can start within the same field, because there will be placement lottery based on skill and not age.

Training: On Saturday the 26th you can train till sunset on the Winschoterdiep and Noord-Willemskanaal. On the Eemskanaal there is a rowing prohibition which is only lifted the day of the competition itself.
