This group will feature a mixed eight coxswain 800-meter straight-course race, along with a newly added 3.3-kilometer pursuit race requiring rowers to manage speed, endurance, and strategy on a route over four times longer than the traditional distance.
In the open group, 23 teams from rowing clubs, school societies, enterprises, and hobbyists will compete in the men's and women's quadruple sculls over an 800-meter straight course.
Preliminaries for both groups will be held on Oct 1, with finals on Oct 2.
