The Boat Race
First raced by crews from Oxford and Cambridge University in 1829, The Boat Race is one of the world’s oldest and most famous amateur sporting events, offering an unrivalled educational experience to the student athletes who take part. The Boat Race, 'London's Party on the River', is regularly attended by over 250,000 spectators at the banks of the river and watched by millions more on television. Held on or near the Easter weekend annually, it is free to attend as a spectator and is broadcast live on BBC.
Fulham Reach Boat Club
Fulham Reach Boat Club is a registered charity with a vision of Rowing for All. Fulham’s initiatives are to give every pupil in their participating state schools the opportunity to learn to row and compete while teaching them the true meaning of teamwork, focus, and confidence; they work to reduce the reoffending rate of serving prisoners through access to indoor and outdoor rowing clubs and provide free-to-attend courses during the summer and Easter break for those children most in need. Fulham Reach Boat Club was recognized as the Community Club of the Year award winner, sponsored by IWG on Women & Sport for 2024.
