The regatta takes place each May over four successive days\, from Wednesday to Saturday of the fifth week of Trinity Term\, drawing spectators and rowing enthusiasts from across the city and beyond. \n\n\n\nRacing on the Isis \n\n\n\nThe races are held on the Isis\, a stretch of the River Thames in Oxford. The river is generally too narrow for side-by-side racing\, so crews compete in the traditional ‘Bumps’ format. In this style of racing\, boats chase each other in single file\, aiming to catch and ‘bump’ the crew ahead to move up the rankings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor each division\, twelve boats line up at the downstream end near Donnington Bridge\, with each cox holding onto a rope attached to the bank\, leaving roughly 1.5 lengths between boats. Racing begins with a series of cannon signals: a five-minute gun\, a one-minute gun\, and the starting gun. \n\n\n\nWhen a bump occurs\, both crews involved stop racing and move aside to allow the rest of the division to pass. The ultimate aim is to become Head of the River and retain the top position. It is also possible to over-bump\, where a boat overtakes the one ahead if the two crews in front have already bumped\, swapping places for the following day or next year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpectator experience \n\n\n\nExpect the banks of the Isis to be packed with spectators\, enjoying the excitement as oars slice through the serene waters. The atmosphere combines tradition\, competition\, and community\, making Summer Eights one of Oxford’s most cherished sporting events. \n\n\n\nThe regatta is organised by Oxford University Rowing Clubs\, the confederation overseeing all college crews and inter-collegiate contests within the University of Oxford. This includes the Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC)\, Oxford University Women’s Boat Club (OUWBC)\, the Oxford University Lightweight Rowing Club (OULRC)\, and the Oxford University Women’s Lightweight Rowing Club (OUWLRC).

The other is the Summer Eights. \n\n\n\nOxford‘s Torpids take place annually about the 7th week of Hilary Term (around the start of March) on four successive days from Wednesday to Saturday. \n\n\n\nThe racing takes place on The Isis\, a length of the River Thames in Oxford\, which is generally too narrow for side-by-side racing\, so the races follow the ‘Bumps’ format\, a form of rowing race in which several boats chase each other in single file\, where the aim to catch and ‘bump’ the boat ahead to climb the rankings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor each division\, twelve boats line up at the downstream end of the stretch (near Donnington Bridge)\, each cox holding onto a rope attached to the bank\, leaving around 1.5 lengths between each. The start of racing is signalled by the firing of a cannon. There are three gun signals – a five-minute gun\, a one-minute gun and the starting gun. \n\n\n\nOnce a bump has occurred\, both crews involved in the bump stop racing and move to the side to allow the rest of the division to pass. The ultimate aim of a crew is to become ‘Head of the River’ (top of the first division) and stay there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is possible to ‘over bump’ if the 2 crews in front of your boat bump (and so drop out)\, and your boat can catch the one in front of them. They then swap places for the next race on the next calendar day or the first day of racing in the following year’s competition. \n\n\n\nAs always\, expect the banks of the Isis to be packed full of spectators watching as the oars slice through the serene waters of the Isis. \n\n\n\nOxford University Rowing Clubs is the body within the University of Oxford that has authority over the conduct of all college crews and is responsible for organising inter-collegiate contests. \n\n\n\nIt is a confederation of the college boat clubs and the University squads Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC)\, Oxford University Women’s Boat Club (OUWBC)\, The Oxford University Lightweight Rowing Club (OULRC)\, and the Oxford University Women’s Lightweight Rowing Club (OUWLRC).

They have one crucial thing in common: they have all had life-changing transplants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProvisional schedule\n\n\n\nWednesday 30 July \n\n\n\nTimeEventLocation5.00pm–7.30pmRegistrationWhite Horse Leisure Centre\n\n\n\nThursday 31 July \n\n\n\nTimeEventLocation10.00am–4.30pmArcheryBlenheim Palace10.00am–4.30pmLive Donor ArcheryBlenheim Palace12.00pm–3.30pmVolleyballIffley Road University of Oxford Sport12.30pm–3.30pmPractice GolfThe Oxfordshire1.30pm–4.30pmSnookerThame Snooker Club1.30pm–3.30pmSquashIffley Road University of Oxford Sport1.30pm–5.00pmChildren’s Table TennisWhite Horse Leisure Centre5.00pm–6.00pmCivic ReceptionBlenheim Palace5.30pm–8.00pmOpening CeremonyBlenheim Palace\n\n\n\nFriday 01 August \n\n\n\nTimeEventLocation10.00am–4.30pmArcheryBlenheim Palace10.00am–4.30pmLive Donor ArcheryBlenheim Palace12.00pm–3.30pmVolleyballIffley Road University of Oxford Sport12.30pm–3.30pmPractice GolfThe Oxfordshire1.30pm–4.30pmSnookerThame Snooker Club1.30pm–3.30pmSquashIffley Road University of Oxford Sport1.30pm–5.00pmChildren’s Table TennisWhite Horse Leisure Centre5.00pm–6.00pmCivic ReceptionBlenheim Palace5.30pm–8.00pmOpening CeremonyBlenheim Palace\n\n\n\nSaturday 02 August \n\n\n\nTimeEventLocation8.30am–12.30pmBadmintonWhite Horse Leisure Centre9.00am–5.30pmBowlsOxford City & County Bowls Club9.30am–12.30pmChildren’s SwimmingLeys Pools and Leisure Centre9.30am–12.30pmLive Donor SwimmingLeys Pools and Leisure Centre9.30am–1.30pm6 A Side FootballThe MGroup Stadium10.00am–3.00pmWalkTilsley Park10.00am–3.00pmChildren’s WalkTilsley Park11.00am–12.30pmChildren’s U5’s ArcheryLeys Pools and Leisure Centre11.00am–12.30pmChildren’s U5’s Long JumpLeys Pools and Leisure Centre11.00am–12.30pmChildren’s U5s Sport StackingLeys Pools and Leisure Centre1.30pm–5.30pmSwimmingLeys Pools and Leisure Centre1.30pm–5.30pmChildren’s BadmintonWhite Horse Leisure Centre1.30pm–4.30pmChildren’s 5 A Side FootballTilsley Park6.30pm–9.00pmRoad RaceBlenheim Palace6.30pm–9.00pmChildren’s Road RaceBlenheim Palace6.30pm–9.00pmLive Donor Road RaceBlenheim Palace7.00pm–9.30pmDonor Run**Please note the Donor Run is an open eventBlenheim Palace\n\n\n\nSunday 03 August \n\n\n\nTimeEventLocation9.30am–4.00pmTennisWhite Horse Leisure Centre9.00am–5.30pmTrack and FieldTilsley Park9.00am–3.30pmChildren’s Track and FieldTilsley Park9.00am–5.30pmLive Donor Track and FieldTilsley Park10.00am–3.00pmPetanqueBlenheim Palace1.30pm–2.00pmHandover Ceremony to 2026 British Transplant Games HostsTilsley Park URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/british-transplant-games-2025/ LOCATION:Oxfordshire CATEGORIES:Sports ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/british-transplant-games-01-1920x1080-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250621T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250622T235959 DTSTAMP:20250605T204344Z CREATED:20250605T204343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250605T204344Z UID:10011100-1750464000-1750636799@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge DESCRIPTION:Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge\n\n\n\nThe Cirencester basecamp is the start of the 100 km looped route through the heart of the Cotswolds\, providing a stunning setting for 2\,000 adventurers to test themselves. Rolling hills\, villages\, the Cotswold Way\, footpaths & trails\, with some fabulous views en route. \n\n\n\nYou’ll get full support & hospitality\, including optional ‘university style’ accommodation at basecamp\, and with three quarter\, half\, quarter + a Cirencester 10 km distance option also – there’s a Cotswold’s Challenge for everyone. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a walker and new to challenge events\, an experienced trekker\, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance\, or a seasoned ultra runner after UTMB points – there’s an Ultra Challenge® for you! Walk\, Jog\, or Run – as an Individual or a Team\, for a charity of your choice or just for you. \n\n\n\nThere’s an Ultra March® option for ‘fast walkers’ – and a new ‘Solo Challenger’ start time to join up with others. The Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge is fun\, safe\, and rewarding – with full support all the way\, enabling you to push yourself further in the stunning English countryside. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCotswold Way Challenge Options\n\n\n\nFrom the Cirencester basecamp\, it’s not long before the first hill\, and with 2250 metres of climb\, the Full 100 km is a real Challenge! \n\n\n\nThe views out to the west over the Severn Estuary are spectacular\, and if you want to make the most of them there’s a 100 km 2 Day ‘Daylight’ option – with camping at halfway.

The continuous challenge will see you stopping every ~12 – 13 km for stops & refreshments\, with a main halfway stop in Wotton\, before heading back towards Cirencester. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull 2 Day Daylight – 100 km \n\n\n\nCirencester Loop \n\n\n\nThe 2 Day Full 100km Challenge breaks down the route into two halves of 53km on Day 1 starting & finishing at the basecamp in Cirencester\, and then 47km on Day 2 – you will get to experience the route in daylight as well as the opportunity to get some rest and sleep overnight.

The route is 3/4 of the Full Challenge – so it starts at Painswick\, takes in the fantastic 2nd 1/4 Challenge route to Wotton\, and then on through the Cotswolds to the finish line at Cirencester basecamp (the 2nd 1/2 of the Full Challenge) after a tough 76 km. Do it as a ‘Continuous’ challenge –  rest overnight after the 1st 33 km & camp at the Wotton basecamp (or hotel/ B&B) – and do the remaining 47 km (2nd half) on Sunday morning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1st 1/2 Challenge – 53 km \n\n\n\nCirencester to Wotton \n\n\n\nSaturday 21 June 2025 \n\n\n\nThe 1st half of the Challenge starts at the basecamp in Cirencester and finishes in Wotton-under-Edge. The route is tough with 1600 metres of climb – and there’s with steep ascents and descents taking you into the heart of this beautiful landscape with magnificent views out to the West.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2nd 1/2 Challenge – 47 km \n\n\n\nWotton to Cirencester \n\n\n\nA great option if you want to join someone on the Full Challenge on Saturday evening to finish with them\, or set off with most others on Saturday morning or early Sunday morning on your own fantastic challenge on Sunday. A start at Wotton – and then some fantastic Cotswold scenery on the way back to the very welcome finish line and celebration back at Cirencester basecamp. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1st 1/4 Challenge – 23 km \n\n\n\nCirencester to Painswick \n\n\n\nThe 1st Quarter of the Cotswold Way Challenge will start from the basecamp in Cirencester – the route is a tough section with steep ascents and descents taking you into the heart of this beautiful landscape.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2nd 1/4 Challenge – 30 km \n\n\n\nPainswick to Wotton \n\n\n\nArguably the most scenic stretch of the whole Cotswold Way route – and one of the toughest ‘quarters’. Starting at Painswick\, you will head towards Coaley Peak with its breathtaking views of the Severne Valley\, before heading onwards to Wotton-Under-Edge for a celebration & hot meal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCirencester – 10 km \n\n\n\nCirencester Loop \n\n\n\nA looped 10 km route from the main Cirencester basecamp – taking in the wonderful surrounding countryside.
