Lent Bumps 2015


The Lent Bumps 2015 was a series of rowing races at Cambridge University from Wednesday 25 February 2015 to Saturday 28 February 2015. The event was run as a bumps race and was the 128th set of races in the series of Lent Bumps which have been held annually in late February or early March since 1887. See Lent Bumps for the format of the races.
The 2015 Lent Bumps saw CUCBC deciding to cut one division's worth of places compared to recent years. This caused some controversy amongst the college boat clubs. Ultimately the division was not reinstated and as a result the bumps ran over only 4 days, not 5 days as in previous years.
