More than 200 paddlers will compete for the coveted Dragon Trophy in the ancient Chinese water sport of dragon boat racing. When race teams hear the beat of the drum, they will feel their adrenalin-pump as they compete in the dragon-inspired vessels. The synchronicity of the team makes this the perfect teambuilding activity for your business, school, faith group, agency or family and friends.

Competition is open to adults, teens, children, families, paddling and water crafting enthusiasts, community members. You provide 10-20 paddlers and a drummer. Dunebrook provides the Dragon boat and a professional coaching session.

Spectators will enjoy a festival atmosphere with children’s activities, face painting, music and food trucks while cheering on their favorite team.
