As of the end of the 2025 race (8 November 2025), Sevilla men have won 31 races, Betis men have won 28. Betis women lead Sevilla women 21 race wins to 15.
The course covers the 3.6-mile (6200m) stretch of the Guadalquivir crossing the city from north to south, between the San Jerónimo bridge near Alamillo Park, to the Muelle de Nueva York, near Los Remedios Bridge.
History The race goes back to the beginning of rowing in Seville, which is closely related to the foundation of Club Náutico Sevilla in 1956. It was Don Miguel López Torróntegui who, in 1960, had the idea of creating a race on the water in the light of the friendly but intense rivalry between the two football teams.
