Just another great #nofilter shot of what we get to see every evening... and it could be yours too! We are still looking for experienced Masters and Coxswains to round out some partial pods, so if you have previous sweep rowing/coxing experience and can make it to practice on Tuesday and Thursdays at 5:30pm and Saturdays at 7:30am, we’d love to hear from you! Send an email to [email protected] for more details!

Our favorite day of the year turned out to be a cold one!! Thanks to all our volunteers that braved the cold and came down to help install the docks. Who else can’t wait to get out on the river? #hooraa View our story for a special visitor we saw on the Vassar dock.

Our HRRA team JL Racing store is now open for business! This Spring, we’re offering our members a chance to order two colors of performance fabric Hats and a high-visibility/reflective TurtleShell vest with our BRAND NEW badge logo! Be sure to act quickly, because you only have until Midnight on Sunday, April 11th to place your order. There are product minimums we need to hit for this store, so be sure to share the word to your friends, family, and fans who may want to support HRRA! Click the LinkTree in our Bio to learn more!

After a couple of tense days, we want to share some lighthearted news about what’s been going on down at the boathouse in the new year. Since we packed up our equipment this fall, the HRRA site has been quiet, apparently providing the space for a pair of foxes to move in and enjoy the waterfront views! We have yet to determine if they’re new tenants at One Dutchess or just a couple of lost Marist College students out for a stroll. Either way, enjoy this snapshot our outdoor cameras caught of them enjoying the recent snowfall this past Monday!

Happy New Year! Thanks to our rowing community for pulling together to make it through this past year! Here’s to a brighter 2021 filled with miles of flat water!

Look who is giving Santa some erging tips. Hope everyone is well rested after putting in those holiday challenge meters! With 35 people participating, we put in 4,588,904 meters, making us 42nd overall and 9th for clubs with 21-50 people participating. Congratulations on a great effort by everyone! ... Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

While the docks may be out and our members huddled inside trying to keep warm, we'd like to take you back in time to the warm mornings of summer rowing with this video shot by Lucy Carr and edited by Mack Carr. Despite the chalenges of Covid, the coaches and athletes in this video were instrumental in helping us mobilize 125 people to scull this summer, almost as many people as our normal sweep and sculling programs combined during a regular summer! We want to thank you all for hanging tough with us through 2020, and we look forward to the day we can be out on the water together again! For those of you who can't wait until then, Winter Training is in full swing with more ergs still available for rent! If you're interested, please fill out our Google Form here to learn more: https://forms.gle/BNT9gFKjkeitkm5Y7

Thank you so much to everyone who supported HRRA on #givingtuesday yesterday! We are grateful for the support we have in our community, and look forward to bringing everyone a great 2021 season next year! Also, don’t forget that Winter Training starts this week and there are still ergs available for rent! Click the Linktree in our bio for more information!

Help us POWER through the last 10 hours of #GivingTuesday! Any amount helps, and all donations are tax deductible! Click the link below donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/

Sit ready...attention...GIVE! Today is #GivingTuesday and we hope you will join us in this global movement by giving locally to keep rowing alive in the Hudson Valley. Donate by clicking below or visiting hudsonriverrowing.org.

#givingtuesday is less thank a week away! For generations, our stretch of the #hudsonriver has supported rowing of all ages and abilities, but this year was both particularly challenging and special for our broader rowing community here in the Hudson Valley. This Tuesday, December 1st your donation can help us keep rowing alive and well in the #hudsonvalley and teach a new generation of rowers and scullers to row on this beautiful body of water we call home.

The Holiday season is upon us, and with it Winter Training and Erg Rentals! Our Winter programs will be held entirely online this year, and we still have plenty of ergs available for rent from both us and some of our partner programs! Click the link to find out more! https://myemail.constantcontact.com/2020-2021-Winter-Traini

Here at HRRA, 2020 has been challenging for both our organization and our membership, but we've persevered! Through careful planning and the tireless work of our volunteers and staff, we were able to continue offering high-quality and affordable access to rowing for both kids and adults of all skill levels in a safe and friendly environment. We also taught dozens of new people how to scull and ended on a high note by turning out a club-record 170+ registrants this fall! But..., with that being said, we are not out of the proverbial woods yet. 2021 is already looking to bring increased financial strain and uncertainty to both HRRA and our tenant programs, and we need your help to ensure we continue to offer the high quality programs you've come to expect. We are almost an entirely volunteer run organization, and we rely on our great rowing community to help us continue providing rowing opportunities to those living in the Hudson Valley. So please join us in spreading the word and MARK YOUR CALENDARS for this year's Giving Tuesday on DECEMBER 1st, 2020! We know things have been tough this year, but if you are in a position to give, any amount you can spare is much appreciated!

Calling all Volunteers!! We are looking for warmly dressed people to help us with the dock removal process! We’re planning to do all of our prepping this Sunday 11/15 at 11am and planning to remove our docks on Thursday, 11/19 at 8am! Please reach out to Matt Rignanese at [email protected] if you want to volunteer to help!

We did it! We made it through 7 months of rowing without any incidents and we had the best water and weather for the last day out. Thank you to everyone that helped out this morning to get the boathouse ready for winter. We will miss our amazing community as we head into winter. Stay tuned for the Holiday Challenge and winter training opportunities! #hooraa

The final row and cleanup will take place tomorrow from 7am-10am! We would appreciate everyone who has rowed to help as we prepare for winter. We want to give an early thank you to all the volunteers and coaches for dedicating their time since early spring and a thank you to our rowing community for staying committed to keeping everyone safe and well. We feel so lucky to have had the ability to row throughout the spring and into late fall. . .... . #fbf to last week’s Virtual Head of the Fish.

Some nice fall vibes down at the river tonight.

A message from our Club President: Attention Club Members, Coaches, & Parents: At HRRA, we've been dedicated to the safety of our rowing community during the pandemic. This includes wearing a mask 100% of the time while on the boathouse grounds (between the posts just to the north and south of the tarmac), observing proper social distancing and hand washing protocols. Even though we are able to remove our masks while on the water, they must be worn until you've launched from ...the dock and prior to your return to the dock. Masks also must be worn by spectators and parents between the posts and on benches. No exceptions. I trust that you and your fellow rowers, coxswains, coaches, and parents will all remind each other to adhere to this mask wearing policy. We appreciate the cooperation so that we can continue running our fall programs without incident. Thank you, Josh Stratton Club President

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday and Monday morning when all this is passed! #rowing #sculling #hudsonriver #845

Happy Fourth of July! We hope everyone stays safe this weekend while celebrating. In another world we would be racing at IDR looking to take home some watches. Here’s a #tb to 2015’s IDR courtesy of Tracy Mauer.

Who has plans to row in college? As many of you have probably seen in the tank room at the boathouse, one of our awesome volunteers and an HRRA board member, Sue Cerulli, tackled this pennant project last year to help recognize all junior boathouse members that have gone on to pursue rowing in college. With the school year officially over, we want to know what your plans are so that we can add you to our wall of rowers and coxswains. Please email Sue at [email protected]. #hooraa

Nothing shakes those #mondayblues like an early morning row. It’s not too late to sign up for Summer 2020 and get started sculling. Visit hudsonriverrowing.org for more info. #mondaymotivation

Tomorrow is the #usrowing Virtual National Championship, and because of that we want to take a moment to highlight two of our athletes that have qualified and will be pulling their 2nd 2k of the contest tomorrow. Both Mack Carr of Pine Bush HS/HRRA and Barbara Moody of Sisting Mountain HS/HRRA both came in second in the USRowing Northeast qualifying regatta in their respective Youth Mens 1x and U17 Women’s 1x and have been working hard training during quarantine training under Coach @ajaymau. Tune in Thursday morning to see the results, and best of luck to both of our competitors! #rowing #crew #hudsonvalley #845 @ Hudson River Rowing Association

Week 12 of our Remote Training plan is out now (https://drive.google.com//1wq7bPRwu6kGwERuYg9Awah9Ov/view). Additionally, as Dutchess County and the Mid-Hudson region more broadly begin opening up, we are beginning to execute a phased reopening of the boathouse! If you are interested in rowing this summer (and haven’t done so already), please fill out our Summer Rowing Google Form at https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSfkujIST9WstyHaa8/viewform . Additionally, if you are interested in coaching this summer with HRRA, please fill out our coaches application form here: https://docs.google.com//1BCeY0taklKPPeTQ1JSKVSvFZSiI/edit Our primary focus is to return people to the boathouse and get them on the water in a safe and orderly manner, and we hope to see you all down here at the River soon!

With the Governor's announcement earlier this week that the Mid-Hudson region and the counties within it are clear to begin the slow process of re-opening, we want to let you know we haven't forgot about you! Our staff and board has been hard at work behind the scenes to come up with a phased reopening plan of our own in which rowing activities can resume in a safe and responsible manner. The unfortunate reality is that due to COVID-19, summer rowing at HRRA is going to loo...k quite a bit different than it has in years past. There likely won't be any racing, and definitely won't be any traveling to race. We're going to have to bring people down to the boathouse in shifts to limit congestion in the boat bays, and everyone is going to need to wear a face covering when they're not on the dock. There's also going to be a lot more cleaning, both of the washing hands and washing boats variety. Last but not least, we won't be able to use the big boats we are accustomed to for some time... no eights, no fours, no sweep rowing in general. But, with a little bit of time and a whole lot of patience, we hope to be able to get as many of you as possible onto the Hudson this summer via small boats, a prospect that we know will excite many of you. In order to do this, we need your help. We have put together a survey (https://forms.gle/K9prAgFZMWkqSny38) with the aim of letting us to get to know you better. It asks for your contact data, a few questions about your rowing history/experience, and some basic health info. This will allow us to filter and better reach the people we need to when the time comes to reopen while allowing us to build up the infrastructure we need to teach/provide a refresher to those who need to sharpen up their skills in a sculling boat. Be sure to pass this on to any of your rowing friends and teammates so we can try to get the most accurate representation of our membership possible! We hope you're all doing well, spending lots of time outside, and we look forward to getting people back on the water soon! As Dutchess County and the Mid-Hudson Region are moving to a Phase 1 opening this week, be on the look-out for more updates from us in the next two weeks regarding how we plan to start our reopening and bring you back to the boathouse safely!

We wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to everyone that helped us last week make this year’s #hvgives day our most successful yet! Though the Hudson Valley has been hit with some hardships recently, our rowing community has shown that they will help us power through! Thank you! The support has been overwhelming. If you didn’t have a chance to participate, gifts are still being accepted on HVGives until the end of the month. Visit https://www.hvgives.org/org/hudson-river-rowing-association On another note, stay tuned for news on boathouse reopening! #hooraa

This #throwbackthursday, we try to soften the blow of missing this year's IRA Regatta due to COVID-19 with an awesome picture of the 1906 IRA when it was held right here on our own stretch of the Hudson River! Starting just north of the Culinary Institute of America, Varsity crews would race 4-Miles under the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park to just below the Mid-Hudson bridge, drawing tens of thousands of spectators on both sides of the river to watch these colleg...iate oarsmen duke it out! Additionally, last year, we began working in partnership with Mid Hudson Rowing Association to bring a modern version of this Poughkeepsie Regatta back to the Hudson Valley each fall. While the fate of this year's regatta is still uncertain due to the pandemic, we hope to be able to once again be able to bring crews, their families, and spectators from all over the northeast to Poughkeepsie when this is over to be able to take part in this historic event once more!

Happy Memorial Day from HRRA! With the holiday weekend comes good news: Remote Training Week 10 is now out (https://drive.google.com//1dLcl-OO0jhvYcml-hPuERQbPa/view) and New York’s Mid-Hudson region will begin Phase 1 of Reopening this week! Stay tuned for updates from us on how we plan to go about reopening as well as tower information surveys that will help us better understand how to serve your needs and keep you safe! Looking forward to sharing this great summer water with you all soon! #hudsonriver #845 #reflection #rowing #poughkeepsie

While the weather may be grey and dreary, you can take comfort in knowing that Week 8 of Remote Training is out now ( https://drive.google.com//1mXRAP9rvlte3LdFgD4C1twctm/view ). With more than two full months of quarantine in the books, we’ve been inspired by the resilience and dedication of our membership and are working tirelessly to make make sure the boathouse and the equipment in it are ready for reopening. Additionally, due to a surge in recent requests, we would like to clarify that HRRA does NOT have any additional ergs for rent, as we rented them back in early April. Instead, we recommend that you check out our running and body weight workouts in the Remote Plan. If you missed some of our updates, you can find Weeks 1-8 here: https://drive.google.com//1P6rR1ebyQS2Alw5aM5zHzaJXD/view . Stay safe!

Lindsey Smith, another HRRA alum and graduating senior at University of Tulsa Women's Rowing, was recently selected as one of two recipients of Tulsa University’s Classroom Grit Award. The honorees are nominated by the Office of Academic & Student Services and awarded by the Faculty Athletic Board. We are so proud that she has been recognized for her spirit and determination both on and off the water.

Here’s some #mondaymotivation for you: Rhett Burns, an HRRA alum and current rower for Northeastern Men's Rowing, was recently selected as one of the top athletes to vie for a spot for the USRowing U23 National Team that was to compete at the 2020 World Rowing U23 Championships in Bled, Slovenia. Although we are disappointed that this pandemic has halted international racing and we won’t be able to see him compete for a spot on the team, we are proud that his work ethic has gained some well-deserved recognition.

Week 7 of our Remote Training plan is out now (Link in bio)! We hope you’re all staying safe and fit in quarantine, because our staff and volunteers have been busy getting the boathouse and equipment ready for our eventual re-opening! If you, your friends/teammates, or family are interested in getting outside and enjoying this nice weather while helping the club (and social distancing, of course), we have a number of maintenance items that still need to be completed. This inc...ludes: Scraping and repainting the steel railings in the Lobby stairwell, Scraping and repainting the steel railings on the porch, Trimming and cleaning-up the bushes in the parking lot, Tuning-up/checking fluids in lawn mower and snow blower, Repairing and staining the outdoor oar racks, Power wash the buildings, and much more! If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Matt at [email protected]! Thank you for your support! See more

It's National Volunteers Week, and because of that, we'd like to give a special shout out to the platoon of dedicated volunteers that not only founded this club but continue to keep it running smoothly up to the present day. For most of its history, HRRA has been nearly entirely run by volunteers dedicated to the club's mission to expand access to the sport of rowing and provide a community anchor on the Poughkeepsie waterfront for the greater Hudson Valley. Every regatta ...you may have attended down here on the floodplain was staffed by volunteers as well, from the people up at 4:00am to work the parking lots to the officials up on the porch timing, collecting, and disseminating results and even the aligners and safety marshals out on the water. All of these people volunteer their time to ensure things go off without a hitch and are the reason why we're able to bring you the services and performance you've come to expect from HRRA. Not only do these volunteers help us in our day-to-day operations, but even in this time of national crisis during the COVID-19 Lockdowns our members have heeded the call for help and have been volunteering their labor and expertise to help us perform essential boathouse maintenance we wouldn't otherwise be able to do in the middle of a busy spring season. We're incredibly grateful for their service, and hope you'll be able to return to the site soon so see all the great work they've done. If you or a friend/family member is interested in helping out around the boathouse, please be sure to contact Matt at [email protected]. Thank you to all of the volunteers that help us keep this place running, we can't wait to show you our appreciation once things are reopened!

Calling all volunteers! Response to the last request for volunteers was great, with many of the tasks already completed or currently being worked on. We have updated the list with new tasks. Once again they can be completed by one or or two people in a couple of hours while maintaining social distancing and adhering to all the guidelines put forth by the local, state, and federal governments. If you are interested in volunteering and completing any of these task please emai...l Matt Rignanese at [email protected] so we can schedule a time for you to work. With the boathouse being closed you can work any day of the week and at any time and for how ever long you want! We want to schedule times so we don't have too many people on site at one time, again for your safety. We also ask that you bring your own tools so we are not sharing tools and other equipment. HRRA will provide items such as cleaners, garbage bags and other items but of course if you wish to donate any items we would greatly appreciate it. It's a great time to spend some time outside and not worry about being in a crowd or around others while helping prepare the building and grounds for our eventual "grand re-opening! The Tasks are as follows: -Power wash the buildings - Repair and paint the pillars under the porch - scrape and paint the walk bridge - Clean gutters and repair seam above bay 3 - Truck - clean inside and out and wax. - rake, week and trim Plant Beds under the Parking lot lights - Clear Brush/small trees against the southern fence - rake and clean up the southern field - Windows - clean and wash - dust and clean the track lighting in the regatta room - Regatta Room Carpet - the carpet is in desperate need of cleaning, HRRA will rent the machine if someone want to take on this task

Since shutting down the HRRA facility, Coach Andy has been working with the HRRA spring scullers turned erg squad. Making gains in their respective erg caves #hrrajrs #ergislife #quarantinelife @ Poughkeepsie, New York

Good Afternoon HRRA! Spring is coming, and with it a number of basic maintenance tasks that need to be done to keep the boathouse and grounds in tip-top shape for our eventual re-opening. Generally, these are the kinds of projects we get done during our annual River Sweep clean-up day, which has also been cancelled. Our Building and Grounds Director has created a list of some of basic boathouse maintenance tasks and broken them down so they can be completed by one or or two ...Continue reading

As we continue to follow guidelines provided by our government and health officials, we have made the tough decision to cancel all upcoming free Intro-to-Row sessions. We may look to reschedule these in future months. We hope our community continues to stay safe during these unprecedented times and we look forward to a time when we can congregate again at the river.

Good Afternoon! As Promised, here is Week Two of our Remote Training Plan for you all to enjoy! If you have questions about the Bodyweight Exercises, try googling for an example. All other questions or comments should be directed to [email protected] . Stay safe, stay home, and we'll be in touch next Saturday with Week 3!

For those that have an erg and continue to train at home, USRowing has provided a webinar on how to utilize the erg for more than just training purposes. It's a long video but has many good pointers for those looking to improve their technique as well as physical fitness. Please continue to stay safe everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch

Attention all members! In an effort to try to keep some semblance of normalcy in our lives (and provide a little stress relief), we are both renting out our limited number of ergs and providing our members with a flexible Remote Training plan (https://drive.google.com//1BzpSsden6O2Lg04LFsG53cUVO/view)! Our Masters rowers who participated in Winter Training program or signed up for Spring Tune-up will get first preference on erg rental through 9pm on Friday, March 27th. ...If you don’t fit that description, don’t worry! All remaining members who want ergs will go on to our wait list in order of first contact and will be available to receive ergs starting on Tuesday, March 31st! To reserve an Erg, please reach out to Coach Jordan at [email protected]. All ergs are available for pickup only on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 3pm-6pm and Saturday from 9am-11am and will be sterilized before pickup. We hope everyone is staying safe at home, and we look forward to helping our membership through this unprecedented situation.

An important message from HRRA
