The Welsh Boat Race

[2] The race was held on a Wednesday, to complement the Welsh Varsity event and continued this way until 2009.

The 2010 Welsh Boat Race was held on the River Tawe, in Swansea on Saturday 24 April.

For the first time, in 2017 Swansea won the overall series of Welsh Varsity Boat Races.

The course was rowed on the lower reaches of the River Taff from south of the Railway Arches bridge to Cardiff Bay over approximately 2 kilometres.

In 2010 the venue changed to the River Tawe's slightly straighter course of again approximately 2 km from the beginning of the straight below White Rock near the old Hafod Copperworks to the Sail Bridge, returning in 2015,[3] 2016, 2018, 2022 and 2024.
