Is there a better way to celebrate the weather we’ve been having than to lounge outside and watch athletes work really hard? We think not.
That’s why you’ll catch us riverside, taking in the second annual Six Bridges Regatta. The 6BR is hosted by the Arkansas Boathouse Club, and will draw rowers from all over the region to compete in the 5K head (aka timed race). The starting line is of course on the Arkansas River near the airport, with the finish line at the Junction Bridge.
Check out our July 2014 cover story on regatta co-chair Mike Coulson, where you’ll learn all about the Southern rowing revival in the heart of central Arkansas.
As an added bonus, the 6BR teamed up with the Capital Bar and Grill to create a signature race cocktail that will be served in both the CBG and One Eleven through race day. It’s called the Six Bridges Swing, and it’s made with fresh watermelon and gin.
