Join us in-person on Saturday, August 5, 2023 for the 112th Bala Regatta, featuring an all new format! Click below to see the new and improved schedule for 2023! Featured changes include:
- No Lunch Break - To keep the action going, there will be no break in events for lunch. The prize ceremony for morning events will happen as soon as the swimming events finish, followed immediately by boating events, starting with the classic Punt races. Our BBQ tent will be serving food all day, or pack a picnic lunch and eat on the dock. Please bring everything you need for the day (especially your canoes and paddle boards) when you come in the morning.
- New Fun Events for the Whole Family - To keep up with the times, the event list will look a little different this year. We're pleased to be introducing the all-new 3-Armed All Ages Noddle Race, the 16 & Under Life Jacket Swap Relay, and the Multi-Generational Canoe Fours. To make room for these new races and accommodate a more efficient day, we're saddened to announce the retirement of some well-loved Regatta classics, including all skiff races and the Voyageur relay.
- New Course Formats - To promote safety and efficiency, all races will now start at the dock. The long swims will run out, around a buoy, and back to the dock. Paddling races will start at the dock and race to a finish line down the bay (with boats and boards being directed back down the side of the course after the conclusion of the race).
