The 3-mile route runs from the BU Bridge to Christian Herter Park. Spectators line the riverbanks and fill the six bridges along the route to take in the sights. Experienced visitors recommend wearing hiking boots and strolling up and down the route to take in all the sights and sounds rather than parking in one spot.

For everything you need to know about the regatta, check out our guide to the Head of the Charles. There you’ll find the best places to watch the races, insider tips for traveling, T and parking information and more. And be sure to find out about the event’s new executive director, Tori Stevens, who took over this year from longtime executive director Fred Schoch.

If you can’t make it to the track for all three days of competition, there are plenty of ways to keep up with the action. Below you will find the best live streams for the weekend.

The Head of the Charles website and YouTube page provide live streams from various vantage points along the route. Check them out below or on the regatta website.
