The Boat Race: Oxford vs Cambridge











The 157th boat race took place on 26 March 2011 - we were amongst the 230 000 spectators to witness the action along the banks of the Thames. The race is 4 miles 374 yards in length from Putney to Mortlake. The current course record is 16 minutes 19 seconds set by Cambridge in 1998. Cambridge currently leads the series since 1829 by 80 - 75. Cambridge won the race last year - Oxford won this year...to find out some interesting facts and figures click here...
