OULRC and OUWLRC train to race and beat Cambridge in the annual Lightweight Boat Races, usually held around Easter on the Tideway. The squads follow similar programmes to the openweight clubs, typically training 10-12 times a week with a mixture of outings-based, erg and strength sessions. They also enter various other races throughout the year, with highlights being Fours Head in November and a three-day BUCS regatta in the summer. Although we unfortunately don't cater for novice rowers or coxes, you don't need to have trained or competed at a high level to trial (take part in the selection process for the varsity boat), and we welcome enquiries from anyone looking to take their training to the next level.
