May 11 Inter-University Regatta in Santiago de la Ribera
Students from 4 universities will compete in the exciting race across the Mar Menor
On Saturday May 11, the 23rd edition of the Inter-University Canoeing Regatta will take place in Santiago de la Ribera, hosted by the San Javier Town Council and the Mar Menor Canoe School. Four colleges, including the Rey Juan Carlos University of Madrid, will compete for the prestigious trophy.
Now going strong for more than two decades, this adrenaline-filled tradition began with a singular goal: to cultivate enthusiasm for the Mar Menor as a prime hub for sailing and other water sports amongst young students.
Since its inauguration, the regatta has gone from strength to strength, welcoming competitors from all over the Region of Murcia and from farther afield.
This year, the championship will begin at 9am on Barnuevo beach in Santiago de la Ribera, and interested spectators can watch all the live action from the shoreline between the AGA venue and the ferry pier.
The semifinals should take to the water at 11.15am and the awards ceremony is scheduled for 1.30pm, a little later than usual due to the huge number of competitors.
Teams consist of female, mixed and male categories, while the Rey Juan Carlos University, which will sail two mixed boats. The icing on the cake will be the Master category, which is open to everyone with the fun addition of professors and university staff.
The mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, referred to the Inter-University Regatta as “one of the most fun and healthy competitive events that embodies the values of the university community and sport.”
Mr Luengo also highlighted “the atmosphere of coexistence and camaraderie” that is generated throughout the day that will end, like previous editions, in a celebratory meal for all the teams.
The Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM) will be fiercely defending their crown, having won the entire competition for three years running. In fact, the Murcia school has five trophies in all and is the only university in the history of the championship to have permanently displayed the accolade on its campus.
