Durham City Regatta is the first of three popular regattas held in Durham. It is a two day regatta which regularly boats around 250 entries on Saturday and approaching 200 entries on Sunday. The fast and furious racing over 750 metres makes for exciting competition. Entries for this regatta range from school age through the senior categories up to both male and female veterans' categories.

This event is particularly popular with the local University/Colleges because it gives them a chance to race against each other without the complex logistics of having to arrange to travel long distances to other events. In particular you will find very keen competition at novice and Senior 4 & 3 levels where many recreational college competitors fight out long standing rivalries between Durham's ancient colleges.
