Since its inception in 1910, Lincoln Park Boat Club has hosted competitive rowing regattas at its Lincoln Park Lagoon site. Since 1980, those competitions have centered on the Chicago Sprints Regatta. The Chicago Sprints is a very competitive regatta, drawing teams from the ranks of the top junior, collegiate and Masters programs throughout the midwest.

The Chicago Sprints continues to be the largest sprint-season regatta in the Midwest, and among the top 5 largest non-collegiate sprint regattas in the Nation. In 2008 the Lincoln Park Boat Club’s Chicago Sprints Regatta was host to more than 500 athletes, fielding 288 entries from 27 clubs throughout 10 states. In addition it is attended by hundreds of casual and dedicated spectators who line the 1000 meter course situated between Lake Shore Drive and the Lincoln Park Zoo.
