The Henley Boat Races are a series of rowing races between crews representing the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. The event takes place on the River Thames at Henley, usually the week before the University Boat Race which is held on the 4.2 miles (6.8 km) Championship Course in London. The university races take place over a 2,000m course, downstream — the opposite direction to the Henley Royal Regatta course — and finish halfway down Temple Island. The Henley Boat Races continued to enlarge their original event format from purely the Men's Lightweight races in 1975, to incorporating both the Women's Boat Race and their reserve crews from 1977 onwards, and adding the Women's Lightweight Race in 1984.〔 From 2000 until 2009 the Lightweight Men also held a race for their reserve crews Nephthys (Oxford) and Granta (Cambridge).〔 Currently Cambridge have abandoned their Granta (lightweight men's reserves) boat due to lack of funding. The 2013 event was moved to Dorney Lake as a result of flooding on the Thames. In 2015 the Women's Boat Race moved further down the River Thames to the Tideway to take place on the same course and day as the men's Boat Race and becoming an enlarged form of the race often known as the University Boat Race or The Boat Race(s).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Women's Boat Race to move to tideway )〕 ==Events== The 2015 races include: * Lightweight Men's Boat Race (OULRC vs CULRC) * Lightweight Women's Boat Race (OUWLRC vs CUWBC Lightweights) * Women's Intercollegiate Boat Race (between one college representing Oxford and one representing Cambridge) * Men's Intercollegiate Boat Race (between one college representing Oxford and one representing Cambridge) Previously, the following races have been held at Henley: * Women's Boat Race (OUWBC vs CUWBC) * Women's Reserves (Osiris vs Blondie) * Lightweight Men's Reserves (Nephthys vs Granta) (abeyance since 2009 )〔From (Henley boat race site news ) 22 March 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henley Boat Races」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
