Regattas
The club competes in many races annually across the North of England area and further afield. The club also hosts two regattas a year in June and September.
We also host the hugely popular annual War of the Roses Scratch Regatta for Masters for crews across the North – a great day of racing topped off with a famous Bradford curry and a few pints of beer in our lovely club house.

War of the Roses
Bradford’s unique invitational Annual Veterans Regatta when we invite clubs from across the North to send their veteran crews (32 yrs +) of all abilities to enjoy a day of traditional scratch racing in Quads. Crews are chosen by ballot to mix up club members and introduce competitors to a new fun, experience as part of this knockout competition. The day culminates with an Eight’s sprint between a Red Rose crew and a White Rose crew with names being pulled from a hat to win the Peter Finney Trophy. A traditional Bradford curry dinner with beer finishes the evening in BARC’s unique style.
The 2025 event will be held on Saturday 26th April. For more details please head to the War of the Roses Regatta page
