It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the Bann Head of the River 2025.

The prevailing weather forecast indicates a shift from high to low pressure, bringing strong winds with gusts of up to 30 mph opposing the tide. After careful consideration, we have concluded that proceeding with the event would present unacceptable safety risks.

The safety of our competitors, crews, and volunteers remains our highest priority.

We sincerely thank everyone for their understanding and continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you back to future events.
