The Head Of The Charles is excited to announce cash prizes for the 2023 Men's and Women's Championship Singles events. The purse will total $35,000 and will be split between the Men's and Women's events - with $10,000 for first place, $5,000 for second place, and $2,500 for third place. The last time prize money was available at HOCR was in 2001, when the regatta hosted a 580 meter sprint. This will be the first time a prize purse will be available for the full course competition.
"This represents an important step for us as a regatta to increase the attractiveness of our Championship Single events, and promote elite level sculling competition in the US" said Exec. Director Fred Schoch.
The field for the Championship Singles will still be set in part by lottery, but there will be consideration given to athletes with top performances in sculling events at the World Cup/World Championship level. Additional rules around the Championship Single events, and information about this year's Head Of The Charles can be found at www.hocr.org.
