Today's featured article The Championship Course, along which the Boat Race is contested The Boat Race 2020 was a side-by-side rowing race scheduled to take place on 29 March 2020. Held annually, the Boat Race is contested between crews from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge along a 4.2-mile (6.8 km) tidal stretch of the River Thames (course pictured) in south-west London. This would have been the 75th women's race and the 166th men's race. Cambridge led the longstanding rivalry 84–80 and 44–30 in the men's and women's races, respectively. The races were cancelled on 16 March 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. Other than as a result of war, it was the first time that the men's race had been cancelled since the first edition in 1845. It was also the first cancellation of the women's race since its 1964 revival. The 2020 event would have been the first time that both senior races would be umpired by women. The members of each crew were announced on the date that the race would have been contested. (Full article...) Recently featured: Dolly de Leon Banded sugar ant "Abyssinia, Henry"
