The Yale-Harvard Boat Race is an annual rowing race between Yale and Harvard universities. It is the oldest collegiate athletic competition having been raced since 1852. Originally rowed on Lake Winnepesaukee , New Hampshire it has since moved to the Thames River, New London, Connecticut - which has hosted it on all but 5 occasions since 1878. Other locations for the race have included Connecticut River, Springfield, Massachusetts and Lake Quinsigamond, Worcester, Massachusetts.
The first race was held over 2 miles but this was changed to 3 miles for all the races upto 1875, when both unversities agreed on the current length of 4 miles.
Originally the race occurred between just the varsity crew but now there are 3 races held on the day, the 2 mile freshmen race, the 3 mile junior varsity and finally the 4 mile varsity match.
