Whether you are there to row or there to cheer, the Head of the Charles is one of the most spectacular rowing event on anyone's rowing calendar.

There are no novice events.

Registration for the event does not guarantee a spot, it only allows us to participate in the lottery. However, if you signup and we win the entry through the lottery you are committed to going. Do not signup if there is any chance you may not go.

Important note: We will only consider competitive members to participate in the lottery. From one year to another, the lottery process favors crews who come in the top 75% the year before so it is important that we put boats who have a chance of either qualifying or make the top 75%.  

Registration closes on Saturday , 8/17 @ midnight

* All sweep events take place on Saturday Oct 19th.

* The 2x events will take place on Friday Oct 18th for masters 50+ and older and on Saturday Oct 19th for 30+ and 40+
