Welsh Varsity Boat Race
The inaugural Welsh Boat Race was held in 2006. The Welsh Boat Race has continued to grow due to support from WARA (Welsh Amateur Rowing Association), and sponsorship deals. The venue for the boat race has historically been the River Taff, but the venue for 2010 was the River Tawe. The event has, so far, been held on a Wednesday to coincide with the other Varsity games but due to increasing popularity from alumni, parents and the general public, the event has now been moved to the weekend.
