The start list has been published. We are aware of the current weather forecast and, whilst windy, are currently happy the event will be safe to run. It is going to be cold, and crews will be on the water for long periods. Please make sure that everyone is appropriately kitted out for the conditions on the day.

Before attending on Sunday, please follow the three simple steps detailed on this flyer. You have just under a week to get cleaned up!

To enable safer landing and boating between divisions, we have moved the start time for Division 2 from 13:30 to 14:00, the competitors instructions have been updated and also now include marshalling points.

Entries open via British Rowing Online Entry (BROE) on Thursday 14th November at 20:00 and close when the event is fully subscribed or Thursday 21st November at 18:00, at the latest.

Entries are limited to a total of 260 crews.

Please see the Entries page for more information.

Following an informal email consultation with all clubs who entered a Wallingford run event in the last twelve months, the head will open on BROE in its usual format of acceptance rules. Many suggested options had as many loathers as lovers and were therefore rejected as unworkable.
eg. Option to disallow doubling up was loved by some but clubs travelling a greater distance wanted to double up to make their journey worthwhile. Ballot was also loved by some but other clubs said having some crews at the regatta and others not, would create impossible coaching problems. Therefore, for the head, we stay as we are. Decisions about the regatta will be made next year.
I will do as best I can, to accept as many crews as I can, as fairly as I can!
Many thanks, Rachael Haycock
