In March each year, rowers participating in the race take their places at the starting point in Mortlake before rowing along the Tideway to Putney. With over 400 crews with eight members each, The Head of the River Race is quite a spectacular event.
Crews wishing to enter the race have until 5pm on 22nd February to submit their applications online. Applications are subject to British Rowing rules and regulations; details of which can be found online; and only 400 crews can be accepted to the race. The organisers ask entrants to note that Scottish crews should pay particular attention to the rules and that female rowers are only permitted in the role of coxswain. The Women’s Head of the River Race will take place on the Tideway on 9th March.
