Great River Race 2013

Enjoy the spectacle from Chiswick Pier on 7th September

The 2013 Great River Race will again be run upstream from London Docklands to Ham. The gruelling 21 mile course attracts both the true racer and the leisure rower. Around 300 crews from all over the globe take part – all traditional style with a minimum of 4 oars or paddles and carrying a cox and passenger.

Watch the Great River Race from Chiswick Pier on Saturday 7 September. The race begins at Docklands at 11.40 and the first boats should be passing Chiswick Pier by 13.45 with the winner arriving at Ham at around 14.40.

Chiswick Pier is a wonderful vantage point for spectators so come along and whilst watching the race enjoy the BBQ, Fullers' bar, and refreshments.

Any spectators would be more than welcome – the Pier House and bar open at 12.00
