The Boat Race

The 151st race between Oxford and Cambridge includes returning Olympians (Robin Bourne-Taylor for Oxford, Tom James for Cambridge) and promises to be as closely fought as ever - though one hopes without repeating last year's crash.

The course runs from Putney to Chiswick Bridge, with plenty of vantage points along the Thames for observing the action. Starting time is set for 3pm, with a reserves' race 30 minutes before. www.boatrace.org
