Each year, beginning in 1998, Riverfront Recapture hosts a head style regatta offering competition on the Connecticut River for high school, collegiate, and masters rowers.
In 2013, a record-breaking number of rowers from six states will compete in Riverfront Recapture’s Fifteenth Annual Head of the Riverfront Regatta along the Connecticut River. Spectators can get good views on the races along the riverbanks at Charter Oak Landing in Hartford and Great River Park in East Hartford or from Mortensen Riverfront Plaza in downtown.
Come enjoy the spectacle of one of New England’s largest rowing events as you cheer on your favorite collegiate, high school, club, individual and masters rowers.
