BaselHead - International Rowing Regatta on the Rhine
Overview
Intro
The BaselHead Regatta takes place on the Rhine in the heart of Basel. Ninety-five eights from all over Europe promise a top-notch rowing spectacle.
On November 14, the Rhine will once again become a hub for international rowing: A total of 95 eights are registered for the 16th edition of the BaselHead Regatta, including the Dutch women’s eight—featuring five Olympic medalists—and the first German eight with the full lineup of the 2026 European Championship silver medal-winning crew. Also competing are the reigning Swiss champions and local heroes from the tri-national Basel region, who will go head-to-head with national teams from across Europe on the 6.4-kilometer course. The start and finish are located on the Kleinbasel bank of the Rhine near the Kaserne.
The races can be watched up close from the banks of the Rhine and the bridges, complete with live commentary. In the start/finish area, the boats will be launched and hauled out, and there will be information booths, vendors, and food and beverage stands.
