In addition to the outstanding racing, the San Diego Crew Classic offers a trade show with vendors selling a wide variety of items, some rowing related and some not. One large merchandise tent at the main entrance sells Crew Classic souvenirs, clothing and much more. Alumni tents are available for rent in advance through crewclassic.org. These tents are set up on the shore near the finish line and are open to a waterfront view of the racing. Many food vendors and a beer garden keep patrons well feed. A massive Jumbotron is located adjacent to the trade show and alumni tent areas for perfect view of the races, including the starts, which are 2000 meters away. The finish line is opposite the giant Champions Pavilion tent for all to see along Crown Point Shores.

Race Course

The races begin near Sea World and the Ingraham Street bridge, head North along Mission Bay for 2000 meters and finish at Crown Points Shores.
