Description

The Lea Spring Regatta (run by the Lea Rowing Club under the auspices of British Rowing) takes place on Sunday 1 September 2019

There will be racing all day on a 600m course between Markfield Park and the green footbridge immediately below the rowing club (next to the marina).

To ensure a safe event, towpath mooring is suspended for approximately 400m from the Railway Bridge at Markfield Park downriver to Leabank View; and restricted to single-moored narrowboats only on the towpath between Leabank View and the Lea Rowing Club.  

Cruising craft will need to wait for a short time at either end of the course while racing is taking place at the request of the racing marshals, who will advise when it is safe to proceed (between racing divisions).
