The Events Alive Dragon Boat League is an opportunity to gain valuable racing experience in the Ottawa region. Every SUNDAY night we will have a series of races where 4 boats will race against each other. During the evening we will change the racing groups giving boats a chance to race with different people. Space in the league is limited so sign up soon!
The cost to join the league is $80 (insurance included). Each week when people arrive we will put together teams for those in attendance. If you are joining the league with friends you can stay in the same boat as your friends for all the races. We make our best efforts to ensure that all teams are close to the same speed. Remember this is about having fun and improving.
1) Chance to meet new people and have fun
2) Great workout
3) 10 evenings with minimum 2 races each evening
4) Draw Prizes
5) Great technique pointers from top level coaches
If you are interested in signing up or would like some more information please email us at dragonboat@eventsalive.com or speak with Scott Seaby.
The league takes place on SUNDAY evenings from 6pm–8pm at the Rideau Canoe Club (Hogs Back & Prince Of Wales). The first 30 minutes are focussed on warm-ups and technique and the races begin at 6:30pm. We will do a minimum of 2 races/evening. The first night for the league will be July 6th and the last night for the league will be September 7th giving a total of 10 weeks. We are looking forward to a great summer full of dragon boat.
