ABOUT THIS REGATTA

The Head & Tail of the Gorge regatta is an iconic BC event, featuring exciting racing and spectacular viewing opportunities, in the heart of beautiful Victoria BC. Teams attend from across BC, Alberta, and the Pacific Northwest, with some coming from as far away as the Maritimes or Europe. 

The unique highlight of this regatta is conquering the exciting tides and currents of Tillicum Narrows, both during the race, and in order to get to the start or return to the extraction point.  

Crews are invited to wear costumes for Saturday racing, and there are prizes for best costume!

Esquimalt Gorge Park, and its beautiful new indoor pavilion provide an excellent launch site and socializing opportunities after racing.
