Camping/Hogroast BBQ:
As usual, we will be operating our very successful campsite at Thames Young Mariners in Riverside Drive, just a few minutes walk from the Race Start. The 14 th Richmond Sea Scouts will once again organise and host this very popular service.
The Friday night BBQ party will include a delicious hog roast and the entertainment will be provided by our regular blues band.
On Saturday evening the bar will be open.

Shuttlebus:
The ShuttleBus service has become an integral part of Race Day. In the morning, it brings crews and spectator boat passengers from the Finish area to the Start in time for registration and boarding at Richmond Landing Stage. After the race, the pre prize-giving run takes the early leavers back to Ham while party revellers can choose a later departure to return them to the parking area and campsite.

Passenger Boat:
With its good visibility, low freeboard, licensed bar and friendly cooperative crew, the Motor Vessel Viscount makes the ideal viewing platform for The Great River Race. The boat will be leaving Richmond Landing Stage promptly at 14.45 hours with boarding starting from 13.30 hours. Light lunches will be available on board.
Note: The trip is one way only, lasting approximately 2.5 hours.
