Dragon Boat Race

Experience the exhilaration of Dragon Boat Racing while raising funds for Sue Ryder. No previous experience necessary – just lots of enthusiasm. 

Crews of 16 paddlers (plus a drummer) race in 30ft Chinese-style Dragon Boats. Crews do not need to be super fit or skilled to be successful – all that’s required is teamwork and a good sense of fun!  

Dragon Boat racing is steeped in mythology and has been around for many thousands of years in China. Popular legend has it that through the racing, Chinese dragons would bring rain.

Friends, family and colleagues can relax on dry land and cheer on the teams. So what are you waiting for call us today to find out more or to enter your team.
