Welcome to the 11th annual Head of the James Regatta

Latest News: We're on for Saturday! Hurricane Matthew appears to be headed off shore, but could still potentially impact this event if the forecast significantly changes. Tentative event schedules will be posted online at 5pm today.

Note: Registration is now closed for this event.

We invite you to join scholastic teams and junior clubs from throughout Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic region to compete on the majestic 3 mile (4800m) James River head race course. Our gorgeous James River in Richmond was recently named as one of the world's 'Top 10 riverways to row down before you die'.

The Head of the James Regatta is located at Robious Landing Park, 3800 James River Road, Midlothian, Virginia in northern Chesterfield County on the south bank of the James River. The incredible 101-acre park is adjacent to James River High School, and only 10 miles from downtown Richmond, Virginia. The site includes easy parking for team trailers, lots of shade trees for team tents, picnic shelters, permanent modern restrooms, a children's playground, and nearly 3 miles of nature trails in addition to close access to the James River. Concessions will be available for breakfast and lunch foods. Another popular feature: our park does allow cooking with gas grills!!

Also, don't forget to save the date for our Spring Sprint race: 12th James River Sprints is Saturday, April 8, 2017!
