Masters regatta expanded

HENLEY Masters Regatta is set to expand to a three-day schedule, running Friday through Sunday, from next year.

This expansion reflects the growing popularity and demand for places in the regatta and will allow more rowing masters crews to compete in side-by-side racing on the Henley Regatta course.

While the full transition to a three-day event will take effect from 2026, this year’s event will include a half-day of mixed events on the Sunday morning. This one-off feature offers a unique opportunity for masters rowers to compete in mixed crews and coincides with mixed events being introduced for the first time at this year’s World Rowing Championships in Shanghai later in the year.

This year’s Henley Masters Regatta will be held from July 11 to 13 with entries for the two-day regatta and mixed event now open. For further details visit www.hen leymastersregatta.org.uk
