Race on the Cumberland River!

Nashville, Tennessee is such a beautiful and vibrant city with a growing population that enjoys being outside, going downtown, and using our water-ways for fun activities. Nashville Rowing and Vanderbilt Crew decided that there is no better expression of all those characteristics than a regatta that runs straight through downtown - right past the banks of the Honky Tonks on Broadway, Titans Stadium, and downtown footbridge that connects East and West Nashville! By racing in the city during a beautiful part of our Southern fall, we can engage so many new people with our sport and community.

When and Where?

The 2024 Music City Head Race will be on Saturday October 26th throughout the morning and afternoon. All boat trailers will park in the Titans Stadium Parking Lot near the Bridge Building on the East Bank of the Cumberland river. Boats will launch from the East Bank grass slope and row upstream to the start line, whereas the finish line is right in front of the staging area (and Broadway and Titans Stadium!). Here are the Maps from previous race days. Updated information coming soon!
