Lucky Duck Erg Sprints is an indoor rowing competition for all ages! The goal of the race is to provide a dynamic competition environment for rowers and athletes from the community. Several different events are offered with the intent of promoting competition that adds variety to the traditional “2k race” found in rowing, and to better represent the collaborative nature of the sport. Lucky Duck Erg Sprints and the University of Oregon Rowing Team hope to build camaraderie within the rowing community and increase possibilities for involvement from those outside of the community.

Racing will take place in historic McArthur court on the University of Oregon Campus, where University of Oregon Rowing has practiced for over a decade. During its use as a basketball arena from 1927 to 2011, McArthur court was known for its intense competition atmosphere.

The race is hosted by University of Oregon Rowing, an athlete-run, athlete-funded team affiliated with the University of Oregon, and a 501(c)(3) organization. The erg sprints are organized by team members and serve as a primary fundraiser for the team.
