Staines Amateur Regatta is a rowing and sculling regatta dating back to 1851 taking place on the River Thames in Staines-upon-Thames, annually on the 4th weekend in July. It features competitors from all age groups and abilities.
The 2023 regatta will be held across TWO DAYS on Saturday 22nd July and Sunday 23rd July – allowing even more racing and competitors more flexibility about when to race. The Saturday will become a longer distance – 850m, with the Sunday being the more usual sprint distance of 500m.
