Uk’s Traditional Boat Championship

River Thames Boat Race

Rather than a Running Contest, we have a River Marathon being held on 25th September 2010

This spectacular boat race up London’s River Thames starts from the Docklands very local to Canary Wharf and the isle of Dogs and finishes 21 miles later in Ham which is in the Richmond Suburb.

This Hugh event has approximately 300 crews from all over the globe and appeals to every level of competitor from those who enjoy fun, fancy dress and charity stunts, to competitors sports men and women who like to win.

Overall a great fun day out for competitors and spectators alike.

Since the early days back in 1988 this event has since quadrupled in size.

Furthermore it really has become truly international event with crews coming from America, Canada, Croatia, Holland, Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, Ireland, and the Channel Islands, as well as all over the UK.
