HISTORY

The Head of the Genesee is part of the Rochester River Romance Weekend of activities promoting our great city and venue for rowing.  It is one of the largest regattas in New York State west of the Hudson River hosting over 50 organizations annually.

The Head of the Genesee would not be possible without the continued dedication and support of over 150 volunteers every year from 13 rowing clubs:  Brighton Rowing Club, Fairport Crew, Genesee Rowing Club, Genesee Waterways Center, McQuaid Crew, Mercy Crew, Naiades Oncology Rowing, Pittsford Crew, Rochester Institute of Technology Crew, Rochester Boat Club, SUNY Geneseo Crew, University of Rochester Rowing Club, and William Smith Crew.
