I mean the type of 8 that they row in.

I'm sure that one of those crew's has rowed farther during training (with stops no doubt), but the world's longest non-stop official regatta is the 160km "Tour du lac a la rame" in Geneva. (Emphasize the NON-STOP). No doubt SOME Cambridge or Oxford Crew has rowed it. Apparently it takes about an average of 18 hours to complete. However I believe they only accept coxed fours, which is brutal if you think about it. It would be much less time and effort to use eights. Then there is the Eleven-towns-row in Holland which is 200 km, but is rowed over 2 days.
