Registration Open for RowOn Indoor Hat Trick Regatta

Registration is now open for the debut of the RowOn Indoor Hat Trick Regatta, a new concept for an indoor rowing event.

In partnership with Sport Niagara, the RowOn Indoor Hat Trick Regatta will make its debut on Sunday, November, 15, 2026 at Canada Games Park in Niagara. The event will mark Row Ontario’s first-ever indoor rowing competition and serves as the pilot for an innovative new regatta format designed to expand participation and inclusivity and bring the sport to new audiences.

About the RowOn Indoor Hat Trick Regatta

Built around the number three, the RowOn Indoor Hat Trick Regatta is designed for everyone from complete beginners to experienced rowers. Participants will compete in three short events; (1) Peak Power (2) Three-Minute Test, and (3) Step Up or Out; combining ranked racing, season-baseline testing and open come-try opportunities. The format will provide competitive rowers with meaningful off-water racing while offering newcomers an accessible, low-barrier introduction to rowing.

Placing points will be awarded and summed across the three events with scoring designed so no athlete goes home empty-handed. Placings, Power Efficiency Rating, the ‘Hat Trick Award’, and club standings will all be incorporated into event results.

The registration deadline for the Hat Trick is Sunday, November 8. The maximum number of entries for the Hat Trick is 100 and registration will close when this number is reached or when the deadline passes. Registration for the event is $33.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item in support of Feed Niagara and local community initiatives.

More information about the format of the Hat Trick can be found in the Regatta Package.
