Due to an obstacle from the municipality, the finish line of the 5000m has been narrowed. Crews rowing through the fourth Berlage-bridge arch from the left (the second arch from the east side) must steer diagonally back toward the narrowed finish line. Yellow buoys are placed between the return lane and the race lane. All crews must remain on the correct side of these buoys (port side).

Please note: since crews will also be coming through the middle bridge arch, there is a risk of collision. This must be avoided at all times. In principle, the crew being overtaken must give way, but there may not always be enough room to do so. Please take this into account.
