The excitement is building across the School for the annual Head of the River regatta this Saturday 14 March.
Months of training, early mornings, late afternoons and sheer determination have led to this weekend, as 25 crews take to the water for one of the biggest events on the school calendar. We can’t wait to see them race, with our school community ready to cheer them on from the banks.
If you can’t make it to the course, live-streaming will bring the Head of the River to wherever you are – so you can watch the racing from your home or (almost) anywhere in the world!
Car parking and Head of the River Shuttle Bus
With over 1,100 athletes competing, and arguably the most beautiful spectating environment, the SA Schools’ Head of the River is the most attended school sporting event in South Australia.
It draws a crowd. A big crowd.
There is LIMITED parking on Military Road, Tennyson Dunes public carpark and Towpath Reserve public carpark.
Take care to look at the permanent and temporary parking control signage, as Council Rangers will be vigilant.
A FREE public car parking with a SHUTTLE BUS service is available from:
• West Lakes Shore Park corner Military Road & Edwin Street
• Mirani Court
A SHUTTLE BUS service (2 buses) runs continuously from 7am to 3pm between the West Lakes Shore Park car park and the Regatta Main Entrance (refer attached), with a second shuttle bus running the circuit continuously between 10am and 2pm.
Look for the Head of the River SHUTTLE BUS STOP signs.
