Doggetts Coat and Badge Race
Said to be one of the oldest continuing sporting contests in the UK, if not the world, the Doggetts Coat and Badge Race was first established in 1715. The single scull race covers a distance of 4 miles 7 furlongs, and is open to newly qualified members of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen who operate on the River Thames.
