The Boat Race

The Boat Race, the Oxford v Cambridge Boat Race, the Oxbridge Boat Race, the Varsity Boat Race…whatever you like to call it, its position in the British Sporting and Social Calendar remains unique. The ‘Corinthian Spirit’, lost in so many other sports, is personified in the most famous river race of them all, making it a truly British institution.
