Henley Royal Regatta is an annual rowing competition that takes place on the River Thames near the town of Henley-on-Thames, England. It was officially founded on March 26, 1839. This event distinguishes itself from three other regattas that cover a similar course: Henley Women’s Regatta, Henley Masters Regatta, and Henley Town and Visitors’ Regatta, as each of these is an entirely separate rowing event.
The regatta spans six days, running from Tuesday to Sunday, concluding on the first weekend in July. Races in this competition involve one-on-one, knockout-style contests and are conducted over a course that spans 1 mile and 550 yards (equivalent to 2,112 meters). The regatta consistently attracts international rowing crews, adding to its prestige. The most esteemed competition at the regatta is the Grand Challenge Cup for Men’s Eights, an honour that has been awarded since the inception of the regatta.
