What is new for the 2024 Reading Amateur Regatta!

• J13 and J14 Octos. This year, on Sunday we are introducing Octos (8x+) for J13 and J14! As we are aware that crews have had only limited water time this year, the Sunday Course will be shorter and easier to navigate and more suitable for these age groups. If you would consider Octos but only for Saturday then please let us know so that we can make changes for future years.
• Academic 8s and 4s. We are introducing Academic 8s and 4s for 2024! This is aimed at crews that have limited race experience and few racing points. Typical entrants would be Oxford Colleges or University crews that have had limited water time because of river conditions. Please indicate in BROE if you would like to enter as an Academic entry. See separate rule section for Academic 8s and 4s further down this page.

CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES = 10.00 pm on Monday 27^th May 2024 or earlier if full.
