About the club

Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club (CULRC) was founded in 1974 for the sole purpose of winning the Lightweight Boat Race against the Oxford Lightweights. The race has been held at Henley in March or April every year since 1975, currently Cambridge leads by 21 to 14. In addition members of the club have won medals at both national and international competitions, and athletes who have represented CULRC have competed at each of the last three Olympic games. The club is also the current Varsity and British University Champions in LM8+

We would like to see you involved in both events, the racing if you think you're up to it, or even if you're not and the dinner should be a great event with many already confirmed.

Trial VIII's

Submitted by Al Chappelle on Mon, 21/12/2009 - 23:24

The 2009 CULRC Trial VIII’s Race produced a hard fought battle between the two crews “Maverick” and “Iceman”. Just like in Top Gun, the rivalry between the crews was fierce in training with each crew seeking to out-do the other in practice pieces. Also like the film, Iceman came out the victor, winning the race by a margin of 1 length.
