Entries are now open on BROE for the 2023 race. All entries must be complete and paid for by 11.59pm on Friday 10th February at the latest, although entries may close earlier than this if we reach 320 paid up crews.
Please note that due to limited space, those planning to boat from a Putney club will need to contact our Chief Land Marshal for permission to bring a trailer.
The Pennants Eligibility Document has been updated for the 2023 race. The only major change from last year’s version is that the eligibility period for Beginner crews has been returned to the previous definition, i.e. all rowers must have started rowing on or after 1st March 2021.
The lists for the clubs eligible for the Small and Medium Club Pennants for 2023 are now available:
Usually, these would have been published earlier and any queries would have needed to be submitted by the end of December. Due to the delay in publishing the lists this year, we will be accepting queries up until the 31st January 2023.
Updates to pennant criteria will follow in the next couple of days, and entries will be opening shortly. Continue to watch this space!
Provisional live times will be available from here during the race:

Entries are now open on BROE for the 2022 race. All entries must be complete and paid for by 8pm on Sunday 20th February.
The Pennants eligibility document has now been updated for the 2022 race. Due to the restrictions to on-water rowing, and in particular crew rowing, over the past 2 years the Committee has made the decision to temporarily extend the eligibility period for Beginner crews by one year, such that rowers will qualify as beginner if they started rowing after 1st March 2019 (would have normally been 1st March 2020). This is the only major change from previous years.
Entries will open on Friday 14th January. Watch our social media channels for more information!

The committee are still finalising some of the entry categories. You will appreciate that this has been harder than normal due to the lack racing over the last 18 months. Watch this space and our social media channels for updates of when entries open and close.
Happy New Year!
Our Strava club is now up and running and some people have started to log their training sessions. If you’ve not used Strava before, it’s really easy to set up a free account and start logging.
The Zoom Ergos #NotWehorr2021 event is now live on their website. If you’re new to Zoom Ergos, you’ll need to log in to register for the event. Remember, we don’t expect everyone to have an ergo to join us for the session. We’ll be updating with more specifics closer to “race day”.
We’re really keen to get as many people as possible involved. We want to see and hear about the training you’re putting in, so make sure you tag us on your social media posts.
The WEHoRR Committee are pleased to announce the format of this year’s #NotWehorr2021. We are inviting everyone in the WEHoRR community to take part in a virtual event kindly hosted on the Zoom Ergos platform.
We want everyone to be able to join in. If you own an ergo, great you’ll be able to row, but we’re also encouraging people to make use of whatever they have at their disposal, whether thats on a bike, in your running shoes or even bodyweight circuits in your living room!
We’ve organised a line up of rowing celebrities to provide the pre-race briefing over coffee, and guide us down the course. The virtual Hammersmith Bridge has been fully reinforced and will be open to navigation! Although we can’t make up for the real thing, we hope this will be a fun and energising alternative on the 6th March.
For those of you who can’t join us on the day, we’re also running a club on Strava for people to use to log their training in the run up to the weekend.
More details for these will follow shortly!
Update: Details as promised!
