![]() This will be the 10th annual event for the non-profit organization. Anyone can form a dragonboat team to compete at Dragonboat Race Day 2023. A dragonboat team consists of 20 paddlers, 2 alternates (recommended) and one drummer. All teams will be trained how to safely and successfully paddle a dragonboat with experienced coaches and boat steerers prior to DragonBoat Race Day. In the past, teams have included civic clubs, churches, community neighborhoods, military, local businesses, cancer survivors, schools, and hospitals. There is also a Senior Division limited to paddlers 50 years or older and a Men’s Division. On Race Day, teams will paddle in three races (weather permitting) competing for medals. There will be awards for Best Tee Shirt Design, Best Tent Decoration, Best Team Spirit, Best Dressed Drummer, Most Money Raised by a Drummer on Race Day, Fastest Overall Team, Fastest Local Team, Top Fund-Raising Team and Top Fund-Raising Individual. |
