A head race is a time trial rowing race typically held in the fall or early spring. In this form of racing, competitors race against the clock and the crew with the fastest time is deemed to be the winner. Racing usually takes place in different categories of boat class and abilities. The length of these races is usually between 3 km and 6 km. Boats are started at 10 to 15 second intervals. To minimize collisions, Boats are usually seeded so that the fastest start first.
The two most well-known head races are the 4¼ mile (6,840 m) Head of the River Race that takes place each March on the river Thames in London, United Kingdom and the 3 mile (4,828 m) Head of the Charles race held each October on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
