Spring Head to Head - Sun. 11th May 2008

Two legs of racing: 2,600m downstream shortly followed by the same distance upstream.

City Sprints - Sun. 11th May 2008

Side by side mayhem over a 400m course in front of the town and college boathouses. The perfect way to warm down after competing in the morning Head to Head race.

Winter Head to Head - Sat. 19th January 2008

Just like the Spring Head to Head, but colder.

Christmas Head - Sat. 15th December 2007

Festive pain in this head race past the boathouses. Prizes for winning crews, and best fancy dress. Mince pies for everyone!

Entry fee: £6 per seat, coxes free. Includes mulled wine and a mince pie.
