The Henley Boat Races are a series of rowing races between crews representing the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. The event was founded in 1975 and takes place on the River Thames at Henley, usually the week before the University Boat Races held on the Championship Course on the Thames in London. The Henley Boat races take place over a 2,000m course, downstream — the opposite direction to the Henley Royal Regatta course — and finish halfway down Temple Island.[3] Competitors at the events have gone on to compete at international and olympic levels.[5][6][7][8]

History

The Henley Boat Races progressively enlarged their original event from purely the Men's Lightweight races in 1975,[9] to incorporating both the Women's Boat Race and their reserve crews from 1977 onwards, and adding the Women's Lightweight Race in 1984.[10][11] From 2000 until 2009 the Lightweight Men also held a race for their reserve crews Nephthys (Oxford) and Granta (Cambridge).[4] The race of the reserve boats had fallen into abeyance as Cambridge decided not to field a Granta crew from 2007 giving Oxford a row over for three years. In 2016 Nephthys and Granta faced off racing in 4x- a week prior to the Henley Boat races. A women’s lightweight reserve race was held in 2012 prior to race day and again in 2016 since when it has been held on race day.[12]

An alternative venue is used if the water conditions are very rough at Henley.[13] The 2013 event was moved to Dorney Lake as a result of flooding on the Thames.[14][15]

In 2015 the Women's Boat Race moved further down the River Thames to the Tideway to take place on the same course and day as the men's Boat Race and becoming an enlarged form of the race often known as The Boat Races.[16][17]

The races receive annual press coverage,[18][19][20][21][22][15][23][24][25][26] and competitors from both Universities have gone on to compete at international and olympic levels.[5][6][7][8] Henley Boat Races usually takes place in late March or early April the week before the University Boat Races, which are held on the Championship Course on the Thames in London.

Events

Crews from the University of Oxford and University of Cambridge race side by side over a 2,000m course on the River Thames at Henley-on-Thames, racing downstream — the opposite direction to the Henley Royal Regatta course — and finishing halfway down Temple Island.[3] The collegiate races take place over a shorter 1750m course.[2] The 2017 races included:[27]

Previously, the following races have been held at Henley:

The lightweight races constitute the varsity race. The first crew receive university half-blues, and is therefore more commonly known as the Lightweight Blue Boat. The reserve crew receive university colours. The intercollegiate races are between the leading crews from the Oxford Torpids and the Cambridge Lent Bumps.[29]

Women's Boat Race

The Women's Boat Race and its Reserve race became part of the Henley Boat Races in 1977. With the Women's Boat Race moving to the Tideway Championship Course and forming part of The Boat Races 2015, the race as well as the race of the reserve boats Osiris and Blondie ceased to be part of the Henley Boat Races.[17] For the full results tables, see the main article on the Women's Boat Race.

  • Cambridge: 21 wins at Henley
  • Oxford: 17 wins at Henley
