A shared vision turned Seattle tradition.

Windermere Cup connects us, on & off the water.

Thanks to everyone who made it happen, from shoreline fans to international crews.

Same time next year? 👀 @UW_Rowing @windermere @BritishRowing

The 40th annual Windermere Cup was a sight to behold 🚣

Congratulations to @UW_Rowing men's varsity crew on their victory over Great Britain 🏆

It came down to the final stroke... The Men's Windermere Cup delivered one of its most unforgettable finishes yet, with the @UW_Rowing edging @BritishRowing by just 0.165 seconds.

EPIC!

The Washington men hang on to beat the defending Olympic Gold Medalists, Great Britain, by less than two-tenths of a second in the Windermere Cup!

[Jake Whittenberg @jwhittenbergK5]

Seattle’s big four TV stations got to battle through the Montlake Cut today!

The Windermere Cup media race continues to be one of the best events in Seattle. Pocock Rowing Center and UW raised the bar again.

As the KING 5 Captain again this year, I’m proud to compete and raise $1,000 for NW Harvest.

3rd isn’t 1st. But it isn’t last. 🤣💪

For 40 years, the Windermere Cup poster has told a story.

This year, Everett artist Elizabeth Person brings it to life, blending ink, watercolor, and tradition into a one-of-a-kind anniversary design.

Every detail is intentional. Every stroke a tribute. @UW_Rowing

[Windermere Cup @WindermereCup]

2014 called… it wants its crew back. 😉🇬🇧

A look back in the archives at the last time Great Britain raced the Cut! Ready to see Team GB back in action this year at the 40th anniversary of the Windermere Cup on May 2, 2026. @BritishRowing
