Marlow Town Regatta and Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marlow Town Regatta and Festival (MTRF) is Marlow's local rowing regatta, together with an associated festival. It takes place at the town of Marlow in Buckinghamshire on the River Thames in southern England.
Marlow's annual rowing regatta was originally founded in 1855. The first MTRF in its current form was held on Saturday 16 June 2001, opened by the joint MTRF presidents, Sir Steve and Lady Redgrave (the famous local Olympic rower and his wife). The regatta is held two weeks before the more famous Henley Royal Regatta, upriver from Marlow at Henley-on-Thames.
