Hundreds of rowers from nearly 50 clubs were in downtown Augusta Saturday for the 2025 Head of the South Regatta.

Hosted by the Augusta Rowing Club at 101 Riverfront Drive, the event marked one of the Southeast’s largest head racing gatherings and turned the Savannah River into a lively competition course.
