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 run on the 6779m Championship Course in London. The university races take place over a 2000m course downstream — the opposite direction to the Henley Royal Regatta course — and finish halfway down Temple Island.
