Next Cambridge Winter Head - Saturday 7th November 2026

~2,500 metres upstream on the River Cam, from the A14 bridge to Stourbridge Common.

Update: Fog and mist is now forecast for Saturday morning, which is likely to affect crews racing in Division 1, and potentially crews in later divisions. Crews are strongly advised to fit lights to their boats to ensure they are visible on the water if visibility is reduced. CRA rules are that there should be a static white light on both the bow and the stern of the boat, with an additional red light on the stern. CUCBC clubs may boat with static white lights (clearly visible) attached to both the bow and stern of the boat.

Please see below for the Draw, Safety, Welfare and Competitor Information.

Reminder: Numbers are available for collection from Race Control on Stourbridge Common from 6:30am on Saturday
