http://www.hosr.org
The 36th Annual Thomas Eakins Head of the Schuylkill Regatta will take place on Saturday, October 29, 2005 in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Regatta is a wonderful event to watch rowing at it's finest and to enjoy the vibrant fall colors of Fairmount Park.

The Regatta holds the title of the largest one-day Regatta in the world and is the premiere Philadelphia fall regatta. Over 10,000 participants and spectators travel to Philadelphia each October for ten hours of continuous rowing. Rowers of all rowing abilities, from High School and College participants to Elite and Olympic level rowers, will compete on the 2.75 mile race course between the Twin Bridges, in East Falls, and Boathouse Row.

There is no other place in the country that has such a spectacular show, the best rowing and the most vibrant autumn colors. Walk, bike, run, or rollerblade the path that winds along the river and historic Boathouse Row. And watch some great racing and enjoy the wonderful outdoors in the clean wholesome atmosphere the Park and rowing exudes!

In addition the 2nd annual "Picnic in the Park", a benefit lunch during the Regatta to raise funds and awareness for Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, will be held on the banks of the river. Tickets will be available for purchase in June 2005. All the proceeds will be donated to support the mission of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia!
