About DIYR and the RTON Foundation

The Dutch International Youth Regatta is organized to give all Dutch junior rowers a chance to experience their favorite sport together. Until now there was no specific junior race event in the Netherlands, therefore the DIYR was planned according to well-known foreign examples: Munich, Bremen and of course Ghent. The purpose of the DIYR is to create an opportunity for all rowers under the age of 19, from the Netherlands and neighboring countries, to row, and to both have fun and also to enjoy stiff competitions at their own level.

The DIYR is organized by Stichting Roeitalentontwikkeling Nederland (RTON). This foundation was founded in October 2019 on behalf of various Dutch rowing clubs with a large junior department: the Amstel, Die Leythe, the Maas, MWC, Ric, the Spaarne, Viking and Willem III.
