The University of Washington and Windermere Real Estate are excited to host the 38th annual Windermere Cup on Saturday, May 4, on Seattle’s Montlake Cut. Nearly 800 athletes will compete in this prestigious event, featuring local, national and international competitors.
This year, the competing crews will be reminiscent of those visited in the recently released “The Boys in the Boat” movie. The gold and silver medalists from those iconic Olympic games will race once again during the 2024 Windermere Cup Regatta. Crews from the Italian National Team will be in Seattle to challenge the men and women’s crews from the University of Washington and the University of Wisconsin, on Saturday, May 4.
The women’s Windermere Cup race will lead the headlining events, followed by the men’s race to close out the day’s competition. Following the races, fans are invited to join the regatta champions for an awards ceremony and presentation of the coveted Windermere Cup trophy. Awards will be presented on a stage near the finish line on the North side of the Montlake Cut. Admission to the event is free. Viewing is available along the North and South shores of the Montlake Cut, or by boats anchored to a log boom in Lake Washington.
