LA 2028 Rowing
Tickets & Travel Guide
LA 2028 Rowing features classic rowing at Marine Stadium from July 15–22 and the Olympic debut of Rowing Coastal Beach Sprints at Belmont Shore on July 24–25. This guide covers the current schedule, both Long Beach venues, the 1,500-meter rowing course and trip-planning options.
LA 2028 Rowing Overview
LA 2028 Rowing is split between two Long Beach venues. Classic rowing is scheduled July 15–22 at Marine Stadium, while Rowing Coastal Beach Sprints make their Olympic debut July 24–25 at Belmont Shore.
Classic rowing at Marine Stadium will be contested over 1,500 meters for LA 2028 rather than the standard 2,000-meter Olympic distance. The shortened course is specific to the Long Beach venue and gives the 2028 regatta a different competitive rhythm.
LA 2028 Rowing Schedule
The current LA28 schedule begins classic rowing on July 15 and concludes the Marine Stadium program on July 22. After a one-day break, Rowing Coastal Beach Sprints take place at Belmont Shore on July 24–25.
The LA28 competition schedule remains subject to change through the Games.
Where Is LA 2028 Classic Rowing Held?
Classic rowing will be held at Marine Stadium in Long Beach. The venue was originally built to stage rowing at the 1932 Los Angeles Games and returns as an Olympic rowing venue in 2028.
Rowing Coastal Beach Sprints at Belmont Shore
Rowing Coastal Beach Sprints make their Olympic debut at LA 2028 and are held separately from classic rowing at Belmont Shore. The format combines running on sand with open-water rowing around a buoy course before competitors return to shore for the final sprint.
The LA 2028 program includes men’s solo, women’s solo and mixed double sculls. Men’s and women’s solo competition takes place July 24, followed by the mixed double sculls event on July 25.
Why Is LA 2028 Rowing 1,500 Meters?
LA 2028 classic rowing uses a 1,500-meter course at Marine Stadium rather than the standard 2,000-meter distance. The Long Beach venue cannot accommodate a full modern 2,000-meter Olympic course in its current configuration, so the 2028 Games will use the shorter format.
The result should produce faster races with less time for crews to recover from a slow start or tactical mistake. The boat classes remain familiar, but the shortened distance changes the pacing and race strategy.
LA 2028 Rowing Events
The classic rowing program includes six men’s and six women’s medal events. Coastal Beach Sprints add three more medal events in Long Beach.
| Discipline | Events | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Rowing | Single Sculls, Pair, Double Sculls, Four, Quadruple Sculls, Eight · Men & Women | Marine Stadium |
| Coastal Beach Sprints | Men’s Solo, Women’s Solo, Mixed Double Sculls | Belmont Shore |
Planning a Rowing Trip to Long Beach
Rowing is one of the easier LA 2028 sports to build into a Long Beach-centered itinerary because both classic rowing and Coastal Beach Sprints stay within the Long Beach zone. The same area also hosts several other Olympic events.
Travelers interested in classic rowing should plan around Marine Stadium, while those targeting the new coastal format should plan around Belmont Shore. A Long Beach hotel base can work well for either.

LA 2028 adds a new chapter by shortening classic rowing to 1,500 meters at Marine Stadium and introducing Coastal Beach Sprints at Belmont Shore.
