Taking place around late-November (normally in week 8), Clare Novices' Regatta is an annual 800m race for novice crews and is often one of the first major races that crews will take part in. The individual races take place with two crews racing side-by-side, proceeding in a knockout style until one winning crew remains.

CNR will be held on Saturday 29th November this year, starting from 8:00 and finishing by 15:45.

Enquiries about Clare Novices' Regatta should be addressed to the CNR Senior Umpire, Lucas Chaplin (claregatta[spam filter]@gmail.com).
