The Boat Races 2016
The 2016 Boat Races will take place on 27 March 2016. Held annually, The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between male crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along a tidal stretch of the River Thames in south-west London. For the first time in the history of the event, the men's, women's and both reserves' races will all be held on the Tideway. In the men's reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie will face Oxford's Isis after both the women's and the women's reserve race, before the men's race concludes the event.
==Background==
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").〔 First held in 1829, the race takes place on the Championship Course, between Putney and Mortlake on the River Thames in south-west London. The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities; it is followed throughout the United Kingdom and broadcast worldwide. Oxford went into the race as champions, having won the 2015 race by a margin of six lengths, but Cambridge led overall with 81 victories to Oxford's 79 (excluding the "dead heat to Oxford by five feet" of 1877).
It will be the first time in the history of The Boat Race that all four senior races, the men's, women's, men's reserves' and women's reserves', were held on the same day and on the same course along the Tideway. Prior to 2015, the women's race which first took place in 1927, was usually held at the Henley Boat Races along the course. However, on at least two occasions in the interwar period, the women competed on the Thames between Chiswick and Kew.〔 Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 2015 race by six and a half lengths, with Cambridge leading 41–29 overall.〔 For the fourth year, the men's race will be sponsored by BNY Mellon while the women's race sees BNY Mellon's subsidiary Newton Investment Management as sponsors. The women's race is scheduled to take place at 3:10 p.m., the women's reserve race at 3:25 p.m., the men's reserves' race fifteen minutes later and the men's race a further half-hour after that at 4:10 p.m.
