The 71^st Dad Vail Regatta, May 8 - 9, 2009

The showcase college rowing event of the year took place on May 8 and 9 on Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River for crews from all over America and Canada.

This was the 71st time the Dad Vail was held and the 56th time Philadelphia has been the host city since the event moved here in 1953.

Jim Hanna, president of the Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee (DVROC), said once again, the Dad Vail Regatta was the major college rowing event in the area, and further enhanced Philadelphia’s skyline, economy and reputation as one, if not, the, rowing college capital for the spring.

The Dad Vail Regatta is the largest collegiate regatta in the United States, with over 100 colleges and universities from the U.S. and Canada. Thousands of student athletes visit the City of Philadelphia during the weekend of the second Saturday of May.

Please join us on May 7^th and 8^th 2010 for the 72^nd Dad Vail Regatta.

Dad Vail Goes Green

The Dad Vail Regatta supports the efforts of the The Philadelphia Water Dept (PWD) and The Fairmount Park Commission (FPC) to virtually eliminate floatable trash on our piece of the Schuylkill River, and to bring Philadelphia closer to our shared goal of being the greenest city possible.

We ask all competitors and spectators to make an extra effort to keep water bottles and litter of all sorts out of the Schuylkill River and in proper receptacles.

Thank you!
