Info Packet & Safety Plan

These two regattas are an iconic BC event, with a broad range of participants and spectacular viewing opportunities. The Head of the Gorge starts near Victoria's historic Old Town, runs north under three bridges, shoots through the rushing waters of Tillicum Narrows, and finishes at Esquimalt Park, The Tail of the Gorge starts in the beautiful Portage Inlet, and runs south under the Craigflower Bridge, to finish back at Esquimalt Park. 

Teams  from across BC, Alberta, and the Pacific Northwest use this regatta to mark the end of the season and the transition to winter training, with incredible racing during the day and the hospitality of Victoria in the evening. The Head of the Gorge encourages costumes during the race, and that gives the entire event a festival atmosphere.

For 2022, the Head and Tail of the Gorge Regatta is being hosted by Gorge Narrows Rowing Club, and is focused on community and bringing together athletes, volunteers and community members to share an appreciation for the gorge waterway and the sport of rowing. By participating, you are contributing to the mythical story of rowing the Gorge and conquering it. Have fun and enjoy the challenge!

The Gorge Narrows Rowing Club gives thanks to the Lekwungen People of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations whose traditional lands and waterways we share daily.
