St Radegund Boat Club

The St. Radegund is a small Pub located at the end of King St by the four lamps roundabout. The St. Radegund Boat Club was formally ratified in 2001 being initially a ‘bumps only’ crew for 3 years. This was due mainly to the enthusiasm and patience of our original coach and Captain John Whitney. As a measure of our success we have been holders of the John Jenner Trophy for two consecutive years and runners up twice more. St Radegund crews have also “won their blades” in the town bumps on a number of occasions.

St Radegund Cup delight for City rowers

City of Cambridge Rowing Club won the St Radegund Cup on the River Cam. The annual Radegund Mile Race is for four and eight-oared boats, with the 39 crews split into two divisions. City of Cambridge’s Masters B 8+, 8@8, won the cup for the men’s fastest crew with an adjusted time of 5min 36sec. And the winner of the shield for the fastest women’s crew was Newnham College’s Division Two May Bumps crew Lady G.

A unique aspect of the Radegund Mile is that all crews are invited to predict their time over the course, and this year a Cantabrigian Rowing Club Men’s 4+, InVeterEight, won the prize, being only two seconds slower than their prediction.
