Race Info
The RI Chinese Dragon Boat Races is a Mixed Division race series, which requires a minimum of 8 females for the “big boats” and 6 females for the “small boats”. The Mixed Division will contain finals for prizes, medals, and bragging rights.
The course length is 200 meters long up the Pawtucket River, with three boats racing at a time. A unique element to our races is that we use larger Taiwanese-style dragon boats, wood paddles, and incorporate flag catching. Don’t miss that flag! You don’t want a penalty added to your time!
The races are great for experienced clubs or a company looking for a fun & different way to team-build and get promotion to thousands of spectators!
