As last year, the Women’s Head Committee would like to remind competitors of the entry criteria requiring athletes to have experience of racing or rowing on a tidal river before competing at the Women’s Head. We also would like to draw attention to the dates of the 2027 BUCS Head and 2027 Hammersmith Head which fall close to or after the close of entries for WEHoRR 2027. We strongly advise crews not to rely on gaining their tidal experience solely by competing at these races and want to make it clear that we will not be able to issue refunds to crews who are ineligible to compete at the Women’s Head in the unfortunate situation that BUCS Head or Hammersmith Head fail to run or you fail to race there. We advise athletes and crews to plan ahead and aim to get as much racing experience as possible before the 2027 Women’s Head to demonstrate their competence.
