As the sport of rowing grows, so does our event.  Last year, in terms of registrations, the Head of the Rock is one of the top five head race in North America.  We want to continually improve our event, and in the near future, maybe even this year, we may find it necessary to close registrations early so as not to exceed the number of boats that we can launch and retrieve in a day.  With this in mind we encourage you to register early.  In order to ensure your spot in our event we request that you pay by credit card at time of registration.  We will honor all registrations by college and university teams who will be paying through their schools regular channels.

We will have special reserved parking for singles and doubles on a first come basis. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT EVENT TIMES IN THE EVENT LIST ARE TO SERVE AS GUIDELINES.  THE FINAL POSTED SCHEDULE ORDER OF EVENTS WILL NOT CHANGE, BUT TIMES BETWEEN EVENT MIGHT.  ALL CHANGES AND WILL BE POSTED ONCE AVAILABLE.  Note changes are necessary as factors such as the number of boats in each event will influence the final schedule.  The final schedule will be available sometime on Friday prior to the event.  Final Event Schedules will be placed in race packets, so please review them after you pick them up.  

NOTE: Handicap times will be applied to all Masters races.
