Welcome

2010 Race - Entries are now open

2010 Entry Fee - £90

Dear Competitors,
I can confirm the entry fee for 2010 will be £90 per crew, this is in lieu of the raising costs associated with putting on the event and the committees ambition to provide the most competitor centred race out there. While we are little bit more expensive than the Men’s head we have less entries and therefore cover the core costs between fewer crews and closer margins.
Value for money?
It costs £10 a head to race in the largest women’s rowing race in the world, on one of the most historic stretches of river in the world and in the past puddles of 5,900 former crews, some estimated 53,000 rowers pulling a staggering 39 million strokes in anger.  Come March the 13th there will only be one place to be -  at the 70th Women’s Eights Head of the River Race.
