The Blues

The CHANEL J12 Boat Race 2026 in pictures

PHOTOGRAPHY BENEDICT TUFNELL
Boat Race trialists meet at Somerset House in London for the historic Presidents’ Challenge event.

Miles make champions: Cambridge oarswoman Carys Earl shows off her calloused hands, the result of many hours at the oar.

Oxford women’s Trial Eights crew Williams races towards Hammersmith Bridge. They were beaten by Ledecky.

Oxford and Cambridge practise their lines at Trial Eights: an event designed to prepare athletes for The Boat Race.

Typically held in December before Christmas, the racing consists of evenly matched eights drawn from the same squad.
