Head Of The Trent

The Head of the Trent Regatta is a premiere rowing competition that attracts thousands of athletes from across North America, it has launched the careers of National and Olympic athletes, and it happens right here on our campus!

The event has grown into an annual tradition where students, alumni, and members of the Trent community gather to cheer on our varsity athletes and celebrate all that makes Trent so unique and special. With athletic action on the river and in the stadium, children’s events, live music, reunions and celebrations, there’s something for everyone at Head of the Trent!
