BOATRACE promotional and recruitment initiatives

Overview

The BOATRACE Promotion Foundation and Association are implementing various promotional and recruitment initiatives. In Okinawa, the ‘BOAT RACE VR Splash Battle’ truck is touring to offer an immersive virtual reality experience, aiming to increase interest and recruitment in a region where locals represent less than 1% of registered racers.

Simultaneously, the organization released the ninth episode of its ‘From Zero to Pro’ commercial series, focusing on instructor mentorship. Additionally, Boat Race Miyajima announced the ‘SpoPara! in BOATRACE Miyajima’ sports festival for September 2026, which intends to promote inclusive and para-sports through activities such as drone soccer and wheelchair basketball.
