Excellent Turnout and Strong Results for Trent at Burton Head 2025
It was another fantastic day of racing on the Trent as Trent Rowing Club hosted this year’s Burton Head. Despite a blustery wind, the rain held off for most of the day, allowing for some excellent racing and great spirits all round.
We were delighted to welcome so many visiting clubs and crews — thank you to everyone who came along and raced with such positivity and enthusiasm. It’s always a pleasure to host this event and see so many rowers enjoying our stretch of the river.
