Celebration of Women's Rowing
Sign Up Today!

The Fifth Annual Celebration of Women's Rowing will take place on Sunday, September 21 from 8:15 to 11 am at Community Rowing's Harry Parker Boathouse, 20 Nonantum Road, Brighton, MA.  We'll row eights and quads in mixed lineups representing a cross section of all rowers of all experience levels.  This will be followed by a rower's brunch and a chance to catch up and connect with people you may not normally have the opportunity to row with.  We hope you'll be able to join us. Please RSVP so we can get a head start on lineups and we can make sure that we have enough food.

Head of the Quinobequin
October 12, 2014
  

The Head of the Quinobequin is a juniors-only (U13, U15, U17, U19), single sculls only, time trial-format rowing "head race" that takes place on the Charles River on the second Sunday in October. Quinobequin is a Native American name for the Charles River. 

  

The race is a homage to Italy's Kinderskiff. Several of the "Q's" founders, seeing that race and the 400 young scullers competing annually in it, had the realization that to improve sculling in the US, we need more kids sculling, and to get more kids sculling, we need more races. Q-1 took place in 2013, with approximately 100 scullers registered.

  

The race course stretches 3200 meters from Cambridge Boat Club to Community Rowing. It starts at the Eliot Bridge in Cambridge/Boston, and runs upstream to Brighton/Watertown, finishing in a stadium-like setting in front of the Beacon Street Bridge.
