$165,000 Sponsorship Presented for Lenny Peters Cup and North Carolina Rowing Championships
A $165,000 sponsorship check was presented to Triad United Rowing coach and event director Gene Kininmonth to support the upcoming Lenny Peters Cup & North Carolina Rowing Championships, presented by Bethany Medical.
The sponsorship from the Lenny Peters Foundation and Bethany Medical will underwrite the international rowing regatta scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Festival Park on Oak Hollow Lake in High Point, N.C.
“This annual event brings many of the world’s top rowers to the city of High Point, and we’re excited for spectators to watch this world-class field compete at Oak Hollow Lake,” said Kininmonth.
The event is expected to bring more than 1,000 athletes and several thousand spectators to the Triad while generating an estimated $2 million in local economic impact for High Point and surrounding communities.
The Lenny Peters Cup features a Team USA vs.World Team format modeled after the Ryder Cup in golf. Top American scullers will compete head-to-head against Olympic rowers representing several countries, including world and Olympic medalists from Great Britain, Canada, Austria, and Serbia.
In addition to the international match races, the regatta will include approximately 500 boat entries competing throughout the day across collegiate events, high school competitions involving more than 30 programs from multiple states, and masters races. The regatta features a full day of racing and festival-style activity at Oak Hollow Lake.
