The 2025 Drake rowing season will kick off with the annual Head of Des Moines race on Saturday, September 27. The Bulldogs will open their fall campaign on home water, racing along a 2.5-mile course in Prospect Park adjacent to the Bright-Beckwith Boathouse.
This first regatta of the year offers Drake the chance to compete in front of a home crowd while giving novice rowers valuable race experience early in the season.
