Where to watch
• Start line: Just above River Terminal Road within the Tennessee Riverpark.
• Bridges: The pedestrian-only Walnut Street Bridge is the safest choice, but the other downtown bridges - Veterans, Market Street and Olgiati - also will offer bird's-eye views of the boats gliding past. Just be wary of vehicular traffic.
•Riverbanks: Try anywhere along the Tennessee Riverwalk or Coolidge Park, a quieter location across the river from the finish line and also closest to the rowers as they head upstream to the staging area.
• Finish line: Ross's Landing. The grandstands at Ross's Landing will provide not only the best viewing of the finish line but will be the center of the action where tents and boats and crowds are concentrated.
• Cost: $20.
