The Thirty-Fourth Head of the Connecticut Regatta

The Head of the Connecticut Regatta is an annual event sponsored by the City of Middletown and presented by the Middletown Lions Club in conjunction with the Norwalk River Rowing Association.

In addition to showcasing Middletown’s waterfront, all net proceeds from the Regatta are donated to local, national, and international charitable organizations including: Nutmeg Big Brothers-Big Sisters, the FIDELCO Guide Dog Foundation, the Connecticut Lions Eye Research Foundation, the Lions Charities International Foundation. The annual event was first held on the Connecticut River in Middletown, CT in October, 1974 and its return in 2007 showcased many changes to present the finest HCTR in many years. The new HCTR leadership team wishes all of our competitors luck in the rest of their 2007 racing and looks forward to seeing everyone again in 2008.
