DIVISIONS
10:30, 12:15 & 14:00
There will be sufficient time between divisions to allow crews to double up, and will permit boat sharing across divisions. It should take no longer than 10 minutes to row from the finish to Churchill Boathouse.
The course runs upstream from The Plough pub at Fen Ditton to the Penny Ferry pub at Chesterton (1450m). 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!
