The Nereid Boat Club and the Passaic River Rowing Association co-sponsor this exponentially growing headrace located in Northern New Jersey on the tidal waters of the Passaic River.
Conveniently located just 12 miles from New York City, this regatta attracts rowers from the tri-state area and beyond. Originally more of a Masters venue, the HOPR has become a premier setting for Juniors competition. Scheduled two weeks before the Head of the Charles Regatta, the HOPR is a perfect way for rowers to test their skills prior to traveling to Boston.
The ~ 2.5 mile course passes through sections of Belleville, Clifton, Lyndhurst, and Nutley. The start is just half a mile downstream from the Nereid Boat Club, and the finish is roughly 1.5 miles downstream from the Passaic River Rowing Association. The course is challenging with two bridges, two docks, and tidal current.
Please check out the caliber of the clubs listed below, and then join many of our returning competitors for a heady experience on the Passaic River on Sunday, October 4, 2015.
