WHAT is it?
Dragon Boat racing is an ancient Chinese tradition and dates back more than 2000 years.
Dragon Boats are 40 foot long and need a crew of 15-19. An experienced member of Bryson LaganSports crew steers the boat and ensures that everyone has a fun but safe time on the water.
THE RACE
A race is a 250 metre sprint along the river Bann with 2 boats taking part. Through heats, the fastest teams make it to the final to become this year's Champions. The winning team is presented with medals and a trophy at the final prize giving ceremony.
