About the event
The autumn Head of the River is a time trial: crews start at twenty-second intervals and race 2,000 metres against the clock from Harwell Weir to the college boathouse.
The women's first eight, who set a course record in the spring, start first. Results are posted on the boathouse board and on the college website within the hour.
