Head of the Charles Regatta
The Charles River has attracted masses of rowers and spectators since the competition was first held in 1965. As the world’s largest rowing race, more than 11,000 athletes travel to Boston to compete. For remarkable views, fans are encouraged to watch the race at the Elliot Bridge Underclosure. You can also gather with alumni and their favorite teams at the Reunion Village. 2 Gerry’s Landing Road, Cambridge, hocr.org
