The Henley Boat Races are a series of rowing races between crews representing the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. The event takes place on the River Thames at Henley, usually the week before the University Boat Race which is held on the 4.2 miles (6.8 km) Championship Course in London. The university races take place over a 2,000m course, downstream — the opposite direction to the Henley Royal Regatta course — and finish halfway down Temple Island. The Henley Boat Races continued to enlarge their original event format from purely the Men's Lightweight races in 1975, to incorporating both the Women's Boat Race and their reserve crews from 1977 onwards, and adding the Women's Lightweight Race in 1984.[1] From 2000 until 2009 the Lightweight Men also held a race for their reserve crews Nephthys (Oxford) and Granta (Cambridge).[3] Currently Cambridge have abandoned their Granta (lightweight men's reserves) boat due to lack of funding.[citation needed]

The 2013 event was moved to Dorney Lake as a result of flooding on the Thames.[4]

In 2015 the Women's Boat Race moved further down the River Thames to the Tideway to take place on the same course and day as the men's Boat Race and becoming an enlarged form of the race often known as the University Boat Race or The Boat Race(s).[5]

Main article: Women's Boat Race

The Women's Boat Race and its Reserve race became part of the Henley Boat Races in 1977. With the Women's Boat Race moving to the Tideway Championship Course and forming part of The Boat Races 2015, the race as well as the race of the reserve boats Osiris and Blondie ceased to be part of the Henley Boat Races.[5] For the full results tables, see the main article on the Women's Boat Race.

  • Cambridge: 21 wins at Henley
  • Oxford: 17 wins at Henley

Notes

double-dagger – The course was shortened in 2007 due to rough water during the Henley Boat Races. It was reduced from 2000 metres to less than 1500 metres with the start between the Upper Thames Rowing Club and Old Blades.[7]
