Filippi Lido Trophy 2026 – Two Circuits. Four Stages. One Passion.
After the growing success of previous editions, the Filippi Lido Trophy returns for 2026—stronger, broader, and more international than ever.
Now in its 5th edition for the National Club Circuit and 2nd edition for the International Circuit, the Trophy confirms itself as one of the most exciting and innovative events in the coastal rowing calendar.
Promoted by the Italian Rowing Federation (FIC) in collaboration with Filippi Boats, the event celebrates the legacy of Lido Filippi, visionary founder of the Filippi shipyard, and aims to unite the world of Beach Sprint rowing under one shared spirit of performance, innovation, and excellence.
The Circuits
Two circuits, one event.
The Filippi Lido Trophy hosts two distinct circuits, both held in parallel throughout all four stages of the 2026 season.
International Circuit
Prize Fund: €20,000
The International Circuit brings together athletes from across the world to compete in four rounds, accumulating points toward the final overall ranking.
At the final stage in Marina di Castagneto, the top-ranking athletes will share a total prize fund of €20,000.
Dedicated prizes and shopping vouchers will also be awarded for Junior and Inclusion Mixed categories.
Racing categories:
Senior CM1x, CW1x, CMix2x
Junior CM1x, CW1x, CMix2x

National Circuit – Italian Clubs
The Filippi Trophy
Italian rowing clubs will compete for the prestigious Filippi Trophy, awarded to the top-ranking club after all four stages.
Scores earned throughout the season will determine the overall national champion, to be crowned during the final event in Marina di Castagneto.
2025 Winner: Rowing Club Peloro, who successfully defended their title as the top club in the national circuit.

The Grand Finale – Marina di Castagneto
As the previous year, the 2026 season will culminate where it all began — Marina di Castagneto, home of Filippi Boats and a symbolic heart of international coastal rowing.
Hosted at the Circolo Nautico Donoratico, the final event will award both the Filippi Trophy (National Circuit) and the €20,000 International Prize Fund.
This venue has become a landmark for coastal rowing, having hosted major events such as:
- Rowing Coastal Challenge 2020 & 2021
- Coupe de la Jeunesse Beach Sprint (1st edition, 2023)
- Italian and Austrian National Selections for the 2024 Genoa World Championships
Chosen once again by FIC and Filippi, Marina di Castagneto stands as a key venue for the future development of Beach Sprint rowing—leading the way toward Los Angeles 2028.
