The weather was nearly perfect for the Cleveland Rowing Foundation’s 25th annual Head of Cuyahoga took place on the Cuyahoga River in the Flats on Saturday, Sep. 18. More than 1,400 rowers in 441 shells from 50 clubs and 12 states competed on a 4,900-meter course on the river.

FreshWater managing photographer Bob Perkoski captured the entire day perfectly with this photo essay, which also include some images from a past event.
