Sat 28 April 2018 12:00-17:00
Harbourside, BS1 6UH
We are very fortunate to have Ashfords LLP as this year’s event sponsor of the oldest event within the Varsity Series and the series’ penultimate event on Saturday 28 April 2018. Held in the most iconic part of the city; with the SS Great Britain, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Princes St Swing Bridge & the Harbourside industrial cranes as a picture-perfect backdrop. Traditionally it’s been a 1300m course through the floating harbour; but this year it’s a Boat Race with a difference. The Varsity Boat Race Sprint Series, this year will see just that. A series of scintillating, edge of your seat racing that is nail bitingly close; from the start at Brunel’s Lock to the finish near the SS Great Britain, so be prepared for the finest of margins on the finish line. A series of sprint races between UWEBC and UBBC, including Men’s and Women’s Alumni races and this year re-introducing the Best of West where local clubs and regional universities compete for the right to name themselves as the ‘Best of the West’.
You do not need a ticket for this event, it's FREE!
