Where there are more crews entering the Bumps than there are places on the River, the lowest crews must compete for places in the Getting-On Race. Crews are removed from the lowest division such that there is one place available in the Bumps for every two crews competing in the Getting-On Race. Crews are timed from the Little Bridge to the finishing post 78 yards downstream of the Railway Bridge and the fastest will qualify for places in the Bumps.

The Getting-On Race for the May Bumps 2013 took place on Friday 7th June.
