Thanks to the kind permission of the Rowing Committee of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, the Oxbridge Annual Rowing Regatta will take place at Middle Island, Deepwater Bay on Sunday, 19 October 2025, starting from 10:30am.

This is a celebration of community and family, set in one of Hong Kong’s most scenic waterfront locations. Children and guests of all ages are warmly invited to join in the fun, whether cheering on the races or simply enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.

The rowing races will begin at 11:30am sharp, featuring crews from Oxford, Cambridge, combined alumni, and the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. While some rowing or coxing experience is helpful, crews will be of mixed ability and fitness, making it accessible and enjoyable for all. Individual and crew entries are welcome—please register in advance (but no later than 15 October) so we can begin assembling teams.

Participants are encouraged to wear their varsity colours and embrace the friendly rivalry. Experienced rowers will have the chance to race in Hong Kong’s own “Boat Race” or in a Goldie/Isis boat, but the overall tone of the day is light-hearted and inclusive, with plenty of opportunities for a fun row and to represent your alma mater.

After the races, prizes will be awarded on the Clubhouse lawn, followed by a family-friendly buffet lunch. As the day winds down, enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset over Deepwater Bay—a perfect end to a memorable day for all ages.
