The University of Washington and Windermere Real Estate are proud to present the 39th annual Windermere Cup on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, on Seattle’s iconic Montlake Cut. This prestigious rowing regatta will welcome nearly 750 athletes, showcasing the talent of local, national, and international crews in an exhilarating day of competition.
In 2025, we’re excited to welcome crews from the University of Washington, the New Zealand National Team, and Indiana University, setting the stage for an epic showdown for the coveted Windermere Cup trophy. Fans can catch the action from the North and South shores of the Montlake Cut or from boats anchored along the log boom in Lake Washington.
The celebration doesn’t stop at the finish line—stick around for the awards ceremony, where champions will raise their trophies in front of an electric crowd. Admission is free, making this a can’t-miss event for families, rowing fans, and anyone ready to experience one of Seattle’s favorite spring traditions.
