CRA Time Race 2026  - RESULTS

The rsults of the CRA timed race on July 9th are here. 

NOTE: The Bumps Committee is proposing that all crews in Women’s Division 3 take part in the CRA Time Race. This would provide objective performance data that would allow us to reseed the division more effectively, ensuring a fairer and more engaging racing experience across the week.  The committee siuggest that this approach is consistent with the intent behind the rules which: Require clubs to enter crews in anticipated speed order, but allow adjustments where necessary, Provide for time races to seed crews that do not yet have an established position and Allow the Bumps Committee discretion to reorder crews in the interests of safety and fairness  While we recognise that a full-division time trial is not part of the standard process, we believe this is a proportionate and transparent way to ensure the division remains competitive, varied, and enjoyable for all participants.
