Saturday 12th September

As part of the Totally Thames Festival the Great River Race will be run upstream from London Docklands to Ham. The gruelling 21 mile course attracts over 330 crews from all over the globe. The race appeals to every level of competitor from dedicated athletes to those who enjoy fun, fancy dress and charity stunts. It’s a great day out for both competitors and spectators.

Come down to Chiswick Pier to watch the Great River Race on Saturday 12th September. The race begins at Docklands at approximately 12.45 on a “slowest first, fastest last” handicap basis. The first boats should be passing Chiswick Pier around 14.45 and continue to come through for at least an hour.

Chiswick Pier is a wonderful vantage point for spectators with excellent views of a long stretch of the river. We will be opening from 11.30 with food stall, ice cream, refreshments and bar.

Please do come and join us to watch this wonderful race.
