The Next HOG-TOG: Fall 2027
We're taking 2026 off to think about how to best position the regatta moving forward. The next Head & Tail of the Gorge will be held in the fall of 2027!
See you then!

The Head & Tail of the Gorge regatta is an iconic BC event, featuring exciting racing and spectacular viewing opportunities, in the heart of beautiful Victoria BC. Teams attend from across BC, Alberta, and the Pacific Northwest, with some coming from as far away as the Maritimes or Europe.
Good spectator viewing locations include: Johnson Street Bridge, Selkirk Trestle Bridge, under the Tillicum bridge, and Saanich side of the Gorge Walkway.
One of the highlights of the course is passing through the Tillicum Narrows:
- Video: The "Angel of the Narrows" guides crews through the narrows as they row from the launch site to the Head of the Gorge starting line, or from the Tail of the Gorge finish line back to the launch site.
- Video: Shooting the rapids during the actual race.
