2008 Head of the Lake Regatta Returns to Classic Course

 Hosted by Lake Washington Rowing Club and the University of Washington, this year’s regatta on Sunday, Nov. 9 starts on Lake Union, continues east through the Montlake Cut to Lake Washington and finishes near the UW's Conibear Shellhouse.

 Rowers remember this as the “classic course” used most often in the regatta’s 27 years.

 The 3-mile head race begins at 8 a.m. with a coaches’ and coxswains’ meeting at 6 a.m. and a single awards ceremony, both at Conibear Shellhouse.

NOTE: REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS MOVED UP TO OCTOBER 26.
