Oxford City Bumping Races 2018 One of the fastest and most exciting rowing events in the UK, Oxford City Bumps is non-contact bumps racing for coxed fours which takes place over the historic 1800m course on the Isis in Oxford. This event is open to all rowers from clubs or colleges and membership of British Rowing is not necessary as long as crews have adequate insurance.
Racing is organised in Senior and Junior, Open and Women's crews and takes place in divisions with four races per division at 2-hourly intervals. Men and women race in separate divisions, with starting order drawn taking into account last year’s finish order or the crew's ability. The aim is to finish as high in the order as possible at the end of the day, and so secure a better starting position next year.
MEDALS will be awarded to the crews at the head of the Open and Women’s first divisions at the end of the day's racing. Members of crews that bump in each cycle of races without being bumped will each be awarded a small TROPHY BLADE. ... See more
