"Coming off of the 2014 50th occurrence of this historic race, 2015 marks the 51st annual Head Of The Charles Regatta, presented by BNY Mellon, the iconic two-day rowing race set along the banks of Boston's Charles River.
In addition to the exhilarating rowing action, the Regatta offers a number of family-friendly activities for all ages. Along the three-mile course, spectators can celebrate at the Regatta's rowing and fitness expo, take in all the action at the boisterous Reunion Village and indulge in some of New England's best fare from local chefs and restaurants."
About HOCR: "Since its origin in 1965, the Head Of The Charles® Regatta has welcomed the world’s best crew teams to the banks of the Charles River for the ultimate two-day rowing competition. Preparing for an event that attracts over 11,000 athletes and 400,000 spectators requires a great deal of preparation. The HOCR consists of a 15 member Board of Directors, 6 of which are in charge of race management and overseeing a nine-member race committee (including two race co-chairs). The race committee meets year-round to discuss the operational and logistical details of the event. They are assisted by 115 leading volunteers on 30 separate committees that begin meeting weekly in the fall. A full-time, professional staff of four, headquartered in the Cambridge Boat Club, works year-round to plan the event, obtain sponsorship and communicate with the rowing community."
