Henley Fours & Eights Head 2023
@HenleyHeadRaces #Henley4&8
Henley Fours & Eights is scheduled to take place on
Saturday 17th February 2023.
NOTICE: Incident: Henley 4s and 8s Head - British Rowing
Following an incident at Henley 4s and 8s on the 11th February 2023 whereby a rower had a fatal medical issue, British Rowing undertook an independent investigation as to the processes and procedures put in place by the Organisers for the race. The investigation has now concluded.
Whilst the tragic events that occurred during the day were deemed to be unavoidable, the investigation was satisfied that the planning ahead of the event and actions taken by the Organisers on the day were appropriate and in line with expected guidelines.
Documents will appear here in a timely manner:

We will publish "live times" via the website during the day (so do bring your smart phone...). I would stress that these are PROVISIONAL and subject to correction and handicapping may not yet have been done.
