Chattanooga, TN, November 7, 2026 — The renowned “Head of the Hooch” rowing regatta has made its return to Chattanooga, Tennessee, with events scheduled along the Tennessee River at Ross’s Landing. The competition is taking place on November 7 and November 8.
This year’s regatta is recognized as one of the largest rowing competitions on a global scale, attracting a significant number of participants and observers. Thousands of athletes are expected to compete, alongside numerous spectators who gather to witness the event.
While the regatta will continue to be held in Chattanooga, a notable change is planned for its future location. The 2025 iteration of the competition is slated to relocate to the city’s North Shore. This shift is attributed to ongoing redevelopment projects at the current site, Ross’s Landing, which necessitate the move.
