The Rivanna Rowing Club (RRC) is located in Charlottesville, Virginia, on the Rivanna Reservoir just northwest of town. With about 100 year-round members, the RRC is one of the Charlottesville area’s larger athletic organizations. RRC athletes compete at the regional, national and even international levels.
