Bristol Boat Race

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bristol Boat Race is an annual event between the University of the West of England (UWE) and the University of Bristol, held on the historic Bristol Docks. In the early years of the event, the University of Bristol dominated, but in recent years UWE has become a much greater force.

The course runs from the Cumberland Basin towards the Bristol City Centre and finishes 1.25km at Canon's Wharf Amphitheatre, one home to the now sponsors of the event, Lloyds TSB.

The 2006 running of the blue ribbon event, the men's VIII, proved to be the pinnacle of competition, with the first running resulting in a dead heat, UWE winning the re-row.
