Regatta Packet: 2024 First Coast Head Race Regatta Packet
Come experience the First Coast Head Race, the oldest head race in Florida. This annual regatta is held in Jacksonville on the St. Johns and Arlington Rivers.
The regatta is a 5-kilometer course that winds through protected waters, skirts beautiful marshes and passes through several river front communities to provide an excellent test of endurance, ingenuity, and perseverance.
As a near replica of the Head of the Charles, crews will be prepared for the prestigious Boston regatta one week later. Event offerings include sculling (singles, doubles, and quads) and sweep (pair, four and eight), with the ages of athletes ranging from 12 to 99.
The race schedule normally allows for doubling. Sign up for a sculling event, then sweep your way down the course in pairs, fours, and eights.
We’re excited to see you in October!
