Fun Bridge Facts!
From the mouth of the Cuyahoga River to Akron there are eighty-four bridges — over three and a half per mile. Twenty of these are over the river’s navigable portion— from the mouth to the turning basin.
most bridges in that area either have to move up and down or swing so freighters can pass through. During the HOTC race, we use the bridges as benchmarks for how much of the race is complete.

Our Story

The Foundry is a non-profit community rowing and sailing training center for Cleveland's student-athletes.

The Foundry's Rowing Center is located at 1831 Columbus Road in the Flats of downtown Cleveland. Once the site of the first Catholic Church in Cleveland, St. Mary's On-The-Flats, the facility is rich in a diverse history which can be seen throughout the space. Among some of the other organizations and businesses that inhabited the 65,000 square foot facility include: The Buchan Soap Company, The Donnelly Furnace, Purdy & McNeil Lumber, U.S. Bronze Company, The Foundry Equipment Company, The Pipeline Development Co., and The Cleveland Museum of Art.

In 2015, it seemed The Foundry's historic complex would go the way that much of the Industrial Flats had, sliding into neglect and oblivion. Where once industry had built the city, now the city seemed to waste away, sitting on one of its most valuable resources- the Cuyahoga River.

Enter Mike Trebilcock, Chairman and CEO of MCPc, a technology consulting company based in Cleveland. He along with his wife, Gina, Trebilcock had a vision for the vacant property on Columbus Road. Together they wanted to build a new, nonprofit rowing facility that would be accessible for youth of all income levels throughout the Greater Cleveland area with an intentional focus on enabling those that wouldn’t ordinarily find the challenges and benefits discover-able within and, which would also become a world-class rowing facility with the potential to attract and breed national talent.
