Dragon Boat racing is one of the most colourful and exhilarating water sport activities in the United Kingdom, and we are excited to launch our Dragon Boat Race 2023 in support of the WAITS charity.


Racing in traditional dragon boats at The Edgbaston Reservoir on the 17 of June 2023, your team of eleven will take part in a minimum of three races, all 200m each in length, after which the winning team will be awarded the coveted Dragon Trophy. 


You don’t need any prior experience to take part as our experts from Dragon Boat Events will brief all the teams on the day and support you through the various heats.


All you'll need to do is get yourself into a team of 11, (10 rowers and one drummer), register, and then raise some money for WAITS.
