The Regatta Association of the Munich Metropolitan Region

We create major sporting events at the Olympic Regatta Centre in Munich Oberschleißheim.

Regattas at the 1972 Olympic course in Munich were always something special. This is what the only regatta association in the Munich metropolitan region stands for, which has staged both rowing and canoe-sprint events in a big way: Regatta München e.V.

Regatta München e.V. is committed to the tradition of long-standing and successful international regattas at the 1972 Olympic Regatta Centre. Regatta München e.V. represents the interests of Bavarian rowing and canoeing clubs with regard to the organisation of regattas in Munich. In organising its regattas, it relies on committed private individuals, its member clubs as well as sport-loving commercial enterprises as members and, with great gratitude, on numerous voluntary helpers as well as proven partners.

We are committed to tradition, but at the same time we create innovations. As a future-oriented regatta association, we have our own service company, M-START. M-START hosts sporting events nationally and internationally, organises sporting events and at the same time stands for the innovative digitalisation of these events. For example, we have our own online entry system MAX, which is available in different languages and is second to none. In addition, modern information technology has found its way into all areas of the regattas in order to make the running of such large events as pleasant and uncomplicated as possible for the participants and us alike. With our own media team and cooperations, we also deliver flawless and visually appealing media impressions of our international regattas and championships.

Regatta München e.V. is a member of the Bavarian Rowing Association and the German Rowing Association.

Our current statutes can be requested at info@regatta.de.
