River Thames, Millwall to Richmond

The Great River Race brings together up to 300 boats and 1500 people to row from Millwall in East London to Richmond, to raise money for charities.

Each year, traditional style boats race each other over the 21.6mile course, with many competitors joining from around the world. A fun day out, with many crews in fancy dress, and participants ranging from young sea scouts, to veterans who have taken part for decades.

The event can be viewed for free along the course.
