Head of the Cam
Sat 29th April
A timed headrace on the Cam for college and town crews
Useful early term race practice and the first hint of form for the May Bumps.
BUSA Regatta
Mon 1st May
A knock-out regatta in Nottingham for University Crews
A few of the better college crews occasionally enter this event, racing as Cambridge University.
For other universities, this is one of the most important events of the year, as the regatta is a good opportunity to do side-by-side racing on a multi-lane 2K rowing lake.
