Wallingford Regatta offers crews the opportunity to race side-by-side over 2km on the same course that National School's will be raced on the weekend of the 25th/26th May, and is the first major multi-lane regatta of the season for many crews. It offers a great insight into how much progress different crews have made over the Easter holiday.
Bedford Regatta is the biggest single-day river regatta in the country, and the first opportunity for two-lane racing in the year over the 1200 metre course through the town.
