The event was run as a bumps race and was the 122nd in the series of Lent Bumps which have been held annually in late-February or early March in this form since 1887. See Lent Bumps for the format of the races. 122 crews took part (69 men's crews and 52 women's crews), with nearly 1100 participants in total.
Two clubs changed their names in the 2009 Lent Bumps. New Hall became Murray Edwards reflecting the college name change. Anglia Ruskin became Anglia Ruskin reflecting the University's name change in 2005.
