SPRING HEAD SERIES

The Head races are run over two courses of 3200 metres from Lemons Hill Bridge to Alton Rowing Club’s Clubhouse and 2200 metres from Lemons Hill Bridge to ‘The Green Buoys’ which is the most sheltered part of the course and therefore most suitable for Novice and Junior crews. All classes of boat and crew status are catered for. There are four divisions starting at 10.00 am and 1.00 pm. Division 2 (Short Course) will follow on immediately from Division 1 and Division 4 (Short course) will follow on immediately from Division 3. Therefore, there doubling up in Divisions 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 is not allowed. However, you can race in different events in Div 1 and 3, or Div 2 and 4, for example.
