    2021 marks 50 years since the first Pairs Head of the River Race

    To celebrate this milestone, we will be awarding a number of additional prizes – including one for the crew placed 50th overall.
    As part of the celebrations all Open and Women’s crews entered in Masters Category D and above will make up the first section of the race and will be placed first in the start order.

    Note – there will be a gap in racing after the first section to allow a clear run for subsequent crews.
