Long Beach Marine Stadium
Long Beach Marine Stadium is a venue with unmatched Olympic pedigree—it was the first purpose-built rowing venue in Olympic history, created for the 1932 Los Angeles Games. Nearly a century later, this historic waterway will host Olympic rowing and canoe/kayak sprint events again in 2028. The 2,000-meter course offers protected waters ideal for racing, while the California sunshine and palm-lined shores create a quintessentially LA Olympic backdrop. For rowing and paddling fans, competing where Olympic legends once raced adds a layer of significance found nowhere else in the world.
