About
History
On August 3, 1852, the first American intercollegiate athletic competition of any sport took place on Lake Winnipesaukee. What has become commonly referred to as “the Race” was a contest between Harvard and Yale rowing teams, a tradition that continues to this day, though no longer held here. The Winni Chase regatta honors the special place that our home lake has in the storied history of this sport and U.S. intercollegiate athletics at large.
