It is no secret that Cambridge and Oxford compete in education but they also have an annual boat race where they battle it out to come out on top.
This year’s boat race is taking place on 6 April 2014 at 14:15. The race is on the River Thames.
The first race started 12 March 1829 and has become a tradition as it comes into its 159th year. The race still follows its historical route and up to 250,000 viewers come to watch it.
I just learned that Hugh Laurie from House took part in the 1980 race.
Cambridge is in the lead 81-77.
So come down and support Cambridge!
