Henley Boat Races

The Henley Boat Races are a number of rowing races between the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. Taking place on the River Thames at Henley, they are for crews that do not compete in the main University Boat Race on the 6,779m Championship Course in London:

The races currently take place over a 2,000 m course, downstream — the opposite direction to the Henley Royal Regatta course — and finish halfway down Temple Island. Currently Cambridge have abandoned their Granta boat due to lack of funding. The 2011 event took place on Sunday 27th March.

The Cambridge University Women's Boat Club was only founded in 1941, when Girton College became the second women's college to cater for rowing. Until that year, Cambridge was represented by Newnham College Boat Club.

*The events until 1935 were not run as races, but were instead largely judged on style merit marks. For the first couple of races, the two crews were not allowed to be on the river at the same time
