The Boat Race of the North is an annual challenge race between the Universities of Durham and Newcastle, in a similar vein to the Oxbridge Boat Race.  It was held 1997-2010 under the name of the Northumbrian Water Boat Race (sponsored by Northumbrian Water) and was revived in 2015. The event is held annually on the River Tyne over an approximately 1500m course between Redheugh Bridge and Millennium Bridge in central Newcastle-upon-Tyne in May.<br>
The race known as the [[Northern Universities Boat Race|Northern Universities Boat race]] became the [[Boat Race of the North]].  See [[Boat Race of the North]] for more information.
<br>
Races are held in four categories: Novice Women (Taylor Trophy); Novice Men (Renforth Trophy); Senior Women (Chambers Trophy); Senior Men (Clasper Trophy).[59] The university that wins the most races takes the overall prize, with it being retained by the current holder in the case of a draw. Durham held the overall trophy until 2009, since when it has been held by Newcastle.[62][63] The 2015 race ended with two wins each, Durham winning the men's and women's novice races and Newcastle winning both senior races,[64] meaning Newcastle retained the title.[65]
