The Metropolitan Amateur Regatta is an international rowing regatta that was first raced in 1866. It was held on the Tideway from Putney to Chiswick Church until settling on a shorter course from Putney to Hammersmith in 1883. Two more course changes were made until 2001 when it moved to Dorney Lake, Buckinghamshire near Eton next to the River Thames and attracts competitors from schools, clubs and universities from the UK, Europe and USA.
