The evening program will feature a pre-party with AfterSoutu, where participants can join the “boot dance” in their rowing pants. Sound and equipment arrangements will be handled so that the atmosphere does not detract from the finish line or overall enjoyment.
Overall, the program will offer a comprehensive mix of great athletic experiences, entertainment, and diverse sights and experiences. Warmly welcome!
