‘The Boat Race was first raced by crews from Oxford and Cambridge University in 1829 and is now one of the world’s oldest and most famous amateur sporting events.Â
The Boat Race takes place in London on the famous Championship Course that stretches over 4.25 miles of tidal Thames in West London between Putney and Mortlake.
Unfortunately this year there is concern about the sewage in the Thames, and the high levels of E Coli in the water. Earlier this week, the organisers of the Boat Race issued safety guidance for Saturday’s race, warning rowers against entering the water and to cover open wounds.Â
The Boat Race is regularly attended by over 250,000 spectators at the banks of the river and watched by millions more on television.
2024 will see the 169th Men’s Boat Race and the 78th Women’s Boat Race.’
Cambridge lead the men’s series 86-81, with one recorded dead heat, and have a 47-30 advantage in the women’s series.
