The 16th Annual Regatta has over 18 clubs participating,  including the Quad City Rowing Association, Augustana College, Iowa State and the University of Iowa, from 15 cities representing 8 states.   

The boats will be launched from the Quad City Rowing Club's Boathouse at the foot of 17th Street (next to Stoney Creek Inn) and row up to the Captain's Table resturant where the race starts.  From there, they will race to down the Mississippi along the Ben Butterworth Parkway, through the I-74 bridge and finish at the Rodman bridge to the Arsenal (by the  iWireless Center).

There's great viewing at the Boathouse, where there will be a lot of activity, and along Ben Butterworth Parkway.
