The Des Moines Rowing Club is a nonprofit corporation created to promote the sport of rowing in the Central Iowa area. We host the Head of the Des Moines Regatta every September.
The Des Moines Rowing Club is a nonprofit corporation created to promote the sport of rowing in the Central Iowa area. The club was founded in 1983 and hosted its first regatta that year. It now consists of around 150 members. About 70 percent of the members are active rowers, most of whom row from April through October. The remainder are interested and supportive rowing enthusiasts. Though most members live in the Des Moines metropolitan area, the club does include rowers from Ames, Indianola, Marshalltown and other surrounding communities.
Our club membership ranges in age from teenagers (juniors) to adults (masters) in their seventies. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that is governed by a volunteer board. On a voluntary basis, every summer we run a novice or learn-to-row program for anyone in the Des Moines community. We also host the Head of the Des Moines Regatta every September and sometimes the rowing competition for the Iowa Games in the summer. Our main boathouse is located near the Birdland Marina on the Des Moines River. We operate our novice program and some sculling at Gray’s Lake.
The Rowing Club is a registered member of the United States Rowing Association. The club is governed by a board of directors which is elected by the club membership at the January meeting. The newly elected board members then elect officers from within their ranks.
