The event, which serves as a training ground for the upcoming European Championships and World Finals, has attracted a significant number of participants, including members of the British Team. Tom Pattichis, Olympic Head Coach for Beach Sprints, expressed his excitement about the Championships taking place in Bournemouth, stating, "This is a significant event for us, as we prepare our athletes for the upcoming European Championships and World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals, and we're thrilled to be hosting it in Bournemouth."
The Championships cater to a wide range of age groups and abilities, with categories including Juniors (J16), Students, Seniors, Masters, and mixed crews. Boats are provided by the organisers, but competitors must bring their own blades or contact British Rowing if needed.
For those who missed the registration deadline, there are still options to participate. You can contact British Rowing to check if any withdrawals open places, or start planning for next year’s championships as this year’s registrations are now closed.

Spectators are encouraged to come and watch the event, with full timings to be published before the competition. The British Team, which includes athletes on the Olympic pathway, will be aiming to make history by becoming the first individuals to represent Great Britain at an Olympic Beach Sprint Championships when the discipline makes its Olympic debut in 2028 at the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
