Vendor Information for Princeton National Rowing Association Events:
The Princeton National Rowing Association invites you to join us for the Mercer Lake Sprints held the third weekend in April at Mercer Lake, West Windsor, NJ.
The Mercer Lake Sprints includes two full days of racing and attracts a large crowd of visitors to our venue. In 2016 the Mercer Lake Sprints drew over 2,500 competitors and 7,000 spectators.
Sponsorship (which includes discounted or free vending space) is another great way to have a visible presence at these events and support PNRA and young athletes. Again this year is the Sweep Sprints Championship Event which gives valuable sponsorship opportunity. Contact Events Manager Hilary Gehman for sponsorship information.
The Mercer Lake facility is one of the finest rowing venues in the country. Our Vendor Village is positioned in a prime spot at the finish line viewing area and adjacent to the team tents to maximize exposure to athletes and spectators.
- All spectators pass through the Village on their way from spectator parking to the team tent area.
- The Vendor Village is beside the prime viewing area for the last 250m and finish of races.
- The awards stage and results board are in the Vendor Village.
- Prime parking area reserved for vendors adjacent to the Vendor Village.
If you can’t make it to the regatta, you can advertise on our regatta website. Our website generates highly qualified traffic from the rowing community, and we see a distinct peak in the traffic in the days leading up to and after our regattas.
Both on-site vendors and website advertisers will receive recognition in our popular Twitter feed and live video stream of racing as well as PA announcements throughout each day of racing.
Please review the following registration and payment information. Contact Events Manager, Hilary Gehman at hgehman@rowpnra.org to reserve your spot or for more information.
