Head of the Schuylkill Regatta
The Thomas Eakins Head of the Schuylkill Regatta is a 2.5-mile head race held every year during the last weekend in October. It was created by three members of the University Barge Club in 1970 and is now under the auspices of an independent 501(c)3) charitable organization. The Head of the Schuylkill has grown to be the largest and most inclusive regatta in Philadelphia. UBC members make up a large percentage of the more than 350 volunteers without whom the Regatta would not happen.
The Head of the Schuylkill Regatta welcomes nearly 9,000 competitors, 40,000 spectators, and 350 volunteers each year. The weekend features races for high school, collegiate, masters, adaptive, elite and Olympic rowers, The Gold Cup and U.S. Lotman Challenges, and a free two-day fall festival of rowing amidst the backdrop of the beautiful and historic City of Philadelphia. Take the first step to experiencing this 2.5 mile scenic and challenging course by registering at regattacentral.com.
