Henly on Todd Regatta

Duration: 4 Days

A boat race with a difference - on the dry sands of the Todd River. Held on the 21 August, the ASSA ABLOY Henley-On-Todd Regatta is a day of fun where teams and individuals race ‘boats’ in the dry bed of the Todd River in outback Alice Springs.

Have fun and enjoy the hilarity as you watch seemingly sane people race in bottomless 'eights', 'oxford tubs', 'bath tubs' and 'yachts' through the deep coarse sand.

The event has its origins in 1962, when Reg Smith, an Alice Springs local, and his work colleagues proposed holding a regatta based on the famous Henley-on-Thames, a race between Cambridge and Oxford Universities. The idea was taken up by the Rotary Clubs of Alice Springs and the fact that the town was 1,500 kilometres from the nearest large body of water was never seen as a problem. So the ASSA ABLOY Henley-On-Todd was born.

Join in or watch the events from under the shade of gum trees on the edge of the dry Todd River bed, and help raise funds for charity, with major sponsor, ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions!
