      The Head of the River Race 2009
 
 

This year the Head received its second-highest entry ever . 70 entries were received from overseas , and these were reduced to the quota of 65 at a draw in January. One of the 65 later withdrew , leaving 356 places available for the 207 British clubs that have entered .

These clubs put in a total of 402 crews . Of these , 201 were entitled to automatic places from being in the top 280 in 2008 . A further 77 crews were guaranteed a place as their club’s first (or sole) crew . This leaves 124 crews , which will go into a draw for the remaining 78 places – that is , 46 crews will be unlucky . This is , of course , subject to checking of all entries, and timely receipt of all entrance fees .
