  • Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & the Boat Race Company October 2017
    The Boat Race Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & The Boat Race Company October 2017 Executive Summary The Boat Race is an event steeped in history and tradition, with a high degree of public recognition in the UK and worldwide. Major events, of which The Boat Race is one, have undergone significant change over the last 30 years. The speed of development in equipment technology, broadcasting and spectator expectations have combined to produce events that reach far beyond their sporting origins. Through study of the economic, logistical and experiential influences on The Boat Race this document reviews the current ‘state-of-play’ for the event and makes recommendations of areas that should be considered for development in order for the event to maximise its commercial, sporting and social sustainability. Key to the future of The Boat Race is to maintain and build from its ethos of scholar athletes, elite performance, tradition and accessibility for all and to focus on how to engage with the UK and worldwide audience in order to generate income and extend the reach of the event beyond Race Day itself. The report also provides high level case studies of sporting events which have successfully managed the transition from traditional sports into highly regarded, well supported events that focus on fan experience and long term event sustainability. This document proposes that public and commercial engagement can be enhanced on various levels for The Boat Race. The report highlights the key themes for future development as digitalisation, extension of the event profile, recognition of the commercial asset, diversity of revenue streams and using the event to positively influence the sport of rowing.
