Thames Landscape Strategy - Hampton to Kew -

Great River Race 8th September 2007

After nineteen years, The Great River Race has firmly established itself in the sporting calendar to such an extent that experienced crews now describe it as a classic event – the one they all want to win.

And with its intriguing mix of colour, spectacle, intense competition and casual fun, it combines all the ingredients that made London’s ‘other’ marathon such a success; but with the addition of dozens of new photo opportunities as the race progresses from semi-rural Surrey past many historic landmarks until it reaches the striking Docklands skyline.

The race departs from 12.55 from Ham Street car park, close to Ham House in Surrey. Take the 371 or 65 bus from either Kingston or Richmond to watch the spectacle of the departing boats. Other good vantage points are Richmond riverside, Strand on the Green, Kew and Chiswick.

Further information can be found at the Great River Race.
