The 153rd The Boat Race took place on 7 April 2007, and featured the most non-British rowers in the history of the event. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames. The Cambridge crew were considerably heavier than their opponents. Oxford won the toss but Cambridge won the race by 1+1⁄4 lengths in a time of 17 minutes 49 seconds.
In the reserve race Goldie beat Isis and Cambridge won the Women's Boat Race.
