🏒 7th Annual Slapshot Regatta – November 8th | Columbia District Get ready for one of the most exciting traditions of the year — the Slapshot Regatta is back! On November 8th, the Columbia District will host our 7th annual showdown, where each district will battle it out for the right to claim the Golden Lion. ⚙️ What is the Slapshot Regatta? This isn’t your average rowing event. Each district lines up 10 rowers to rack up as many meters as possible in 60 minutes. But every 5 minutes, the action heats up — 5 athletes from each gym step off the rower to take their shot on goal. The team with the most successful slapshots earns a major advantage — an extra rower for the next 5-minute period to boost their district’s total meters. Strategy, endurance, and teamwork all collide in this fast-paced, high-energy competition. When the hour ends, the district with the most total meters wins the honor of housing the Golden Lion statue for the next year. 📅 Event Details Date: Saturday, November 8th Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Location: 12 Labours Columbia – 9017 Red Branch Rd, Suite A How to Join: Reserve your spot in Wodify 🍂 After-Event Fun: Fall Food Cook-Off We’re keeping the competition (and the good vibes) rolling after the regatta with a Fall Food Cook-Off!
