Time Trials

The course is 2.1 miles of flat water through the centre of Bristol city. You bring a crew and oars (set can be hired if needed) and we provide the rest. Why not stay the evening before/after, BGC will happily show you a Bristol night out.

All official attempts will be added to the TopGear style leaderboard below.
At the end of April 2022 we will present the Trophy to the current leaders of each category – Mens open, MV, MSV, Womens Open, WV, WSV, Masters, Juniors and Mixed.
