WASHINGTON - The George Washington men's rowing team will travel to Cambridge, Mass., to participate in the legendary Head of the Charles Regatta on Saturday. The Colonials will compete in the Club Eights event at approximately 1:10 p.m.
The Head of the Charles Regatta was founded in 1965 and has evolved into the largest two-day rowing event in the world. The 47th-annual installment features more than 8,000 athletes from 19 countries competing in 61 different events in front of over 300,000 spectators.
"Our team is very excited to participate in the Head of the Charles" said head coach Mark Davis. "To race in front of hundreds of thousands of fans in this event is huge for our guys, and they have been showing decent speed in practice."
The Colonials will race in a 39-crew field that will include perennial powers Harvard, Brown, Bucknell, M.I.T. and Princeton, in addition to numerous other collegiate crews and boat clubs from around the country.
The race course is 3.2 miles long as it stretches from the start at Boston University's DeWolfe Boat House near the Charles River Basin under seven bridges to the Eliot Bridge just before Northeastern University's Henderson Boat House.
