Sunday, April 6th, 2025 from 7:00am to 3:00pm

About

More than 500 junior rowers from five states are expected to race on the Oklahoma River in the 2025 OKC Junior Invitational Regatta on Sunday, April 6th. Racing will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Boathouse District.  

Student athletes representing 13 rowing teams from Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas will be competing on the Oklahoma River in this year’s annual regatta. More than 800 spectators are expected at this year’s event making it the largest OKC Junior Invitational to date. 

No experience required! We are looking for volunteers of all ages, youth to seniors! Those under the age of 18 need parental permission; youth ages 13-15 may volunteer with a parent who is volunteering.

In appreciation for our amazing volunteers, RIVERSPORT OKC hosts the annual Thankful Banquet November 20th. Volunteers that serve multiple shifts will have an even greater chance for prizes!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Ashley Petty, apetty@riversportokc.org.
