Des Moines Rowing welcomes you to the 2023 Head of the Des Moines (HOTDM) Regatta!
Des Moines Rowing (DMR) will host its annual regatta on Saturday September 23, 2023. Since 1983, DMR has held a race on the Des Moines River, making it one of the oldest and biggest regattas in the Midwest. This three-mile upstream race attracts crews from all over the region. HOTDM is a premiere USRowing-sanctioned regatta that celebrates the best Des Moines has to offer: our vibrant downtown and riverfront, destination activities, our scenic race course, and a sporting community that combines fellowship and competition.Please help us continue the tradition of racing on the Des Moines in 2023!
The HOTDM is a head race, which is a time-trial competition. In this form of racing, rowers race against the clock where the crew or rower completing the course in the shortest time in their age, ability and boat-class category is deemed the winner.
