CHATTANOOGA, TN-There are two types of racing, headraces and sprints. A headrace, which is normally raced in the fall, is a race anywhere from 3,000 to 6,000 meters in length. The Head of the Hooch is a 5,000 meter (3.1) mile head race on the Tennessee River, is the largest regatta in the South East, and the second largest regatta in the nation. Conditions were perfect this past weekend for rowers and spectators with sunny skies, temperatures in the 70’s, and very little breeze.
