After celebrating 10 years of the BWC in 2018, the Whanganui Rowing Association have made the fantastic move for the event to be included in Whanganui Vintage Weekend.

Held annually on Wellington Anniversary Weekend, WVW is one of the biggest events held in the region, attracting visitors from all over the country, and of course as the BWC commemorates such an historic event, it is a perfect fit for the race to be part of this premier event.

Spectators and Supporters are welcome to come and watch the live racing action on the Whanganui River from 10.30am on Sunday 19th January 2020
