The Koninklijke- Holland Beker has a legacy in single scull events. World class elite rowers race together with international student crews and juniors single sculls at the same regatta course. The traditional main events, Women’s Single Scull Ladies’ Trophy and Men’s Single Scull Holland Beker have been  incorporated in the World Rowing Cup program. Together with FISA, we carved out time in our programme to offer juniors and students the opporunity to race at this World Rowing Cup edition too. We have a fixed number of additional events with a maximum number of contestants. Below, you will find more information on these events. In case of any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us via regatta@rotterdamregatta.com. Other regatta related information can be found on the Athletes page.
