Event Date: Saturday 07th February 2026 - Saturday 07th February 2026
About
Peterborough Head of the Nene offers 3 divisions of racing, with events over the long (5,000 metre) and short (2,600 metre) courses.
Unlike other events at Peterborough, the Head of the Nene is run from The Embankment near the City Centre rather than the Clubhouse. This allows us to boat more crews at once and gives crews a shorter row to the start. Please note, there is no supply of drinking water at the Embankment, all competitors and spectators should bring sufficient sustenance with them for the day.
Full details and results will appear on this page. Please follow our social channels to stay up to date Facebook / Twitter / Instagram.
Entries
Entries will open at 20:00 on Wednesday 10 December 2025 and close at 12:00 (noon) on Sunday, 1 February 2026, unless earlier due to oversubscription.
Update 5th Jan 2026: Division 1 has exceeded capacity, so we have setup a waiting list on BROE. Any subsequent entries to Div1 will be reviewed during the draw and only accepted if we have space. Div2 is ~40% full and Div3 is ~70% full.
Update 12th Jan 2026: Divisions 2 & 3 have now reached capacity. All entries received after this date will be on the waiting list for the respective division. We will review capacity during the draw (Sunday 1st Feb) and do what we can to accommodate up to our maximum limit.
