Saturday 16 March 2024

DIVISIONS Div 1: 10:30 | Div 2: 12:15 | Div 3: 14:00.

There will be sufficient time between divisions to allow crews to double-up, and will permit boat sharing across divisions.

The course runs 1450m upstream from The Plough pub at Fen Ditton to the site of the old Penny Ferry pub at Chesterton.

The race will use a rolling start on the Plough Reach. There is excellent towpath access along the whole course, which makes it an ideal event for juniors. Bring a bike or your trainers and you will be metres away from your scullers!
