Downstream

evening in late summer to
mark the end of the season.
The original course for the
men’s race, up until 1914,
was from Cookham to

the course was changed to run
from Boulter’s Lock to Bray,
while the women’s race ran
from Boulter’s Lock to
Maidenhead Bridge. Now
women weren’t just
swimming in the Thames
