PORTLAND, Ore. --- The Pilots women's rowing team will make their annual trek to downtown Portland this weekend to compete at the annual Portland Fall Classic, which is scheduled for Sunday morning on the Willamette River. The Pilots will be racing six boats at the classic, beginning with the varsity eight.
 
Portland's varsity eight will be the first boat to hit the water, which is scheduled for 8:36 a.m. The second eight follows a few minutes later as the event's format is a head race, which means crews will start one at a time with about 10-15 seconds in between each boat.
 
The entire course is 5000 meters in distance and results will be based on each boat's time.
 
Portland will face two boats in the varsity four event, which is set to race at 10:58 a.m., and the second four will embark at 11 a.m. The novice eight will cap the day for the Pilots, with their race scheduled for 11:17 a.m.
 
The starting line for the Portland Fall Classic is located on the Holgate Channel of the Willamette River behind Ross Island. The course heads north and the finish line is near the floating section of the Eastbank Esplanade between the Burnside and Steel Bridges.
 
This is one of the few home events for the Pilots, and the team is inviting fans to come cheer on the squad at the UP tent, where there will be complimentary refreshments and beverages. The team tent will be located north of the Portland Boathouse along the waterfront in the Festival Plaza.
