The 2nd Home International Rowing Beach Sprints will be held this Saturday (September 9) at the home of the World Rowing Championships in Saundersfoot.

HIR Beach Sprints 2023 is hosted by Welsh Rowing with the competition taking place between 7.30 am and 3 pm on Saundersfoot beach.

The event will once again welcome competitors to the seaside village, and is sure to be an unmissable event in the sporting calendar.

Saturday will see rowing teams from England, Ireland, Scotland, Jersey and Wales compete for the Home International Rowing Trophy in Saundersfoot.

Home International Regatta became Home International Rowing (HIR) in 2022 as part of the growth of the competition bringing in the Beach Sprints as a new format.

The HIR provides an opportunity for rowers and coaches alike to gain their first taste of international competition. 2012 Olympic Gold Medallist, Dame Katherine Grainger and 2016 Olympic Silver Medallist Karen Bennett are both veterans of the regatta as is Sir Chris Hoy before making his switch to cycling!
