There are two main types of rowing competition affiliated to British Rowing. Regattas are sprint races that allow for side by side racing, or at bigger events, multi-lane racing. Distances vary but cover anything from 500m to 2000m. The regatta season runs throughout the spring and summer (generally from April to August). Head races are time trials, generally over longer distances with boats starting one after the other. The head season runs throughout the autumn and winter.
