Come and join local charities Designability, Mentoring Plus and Rainforest Concern and get involved in this year’s Bath Dragon Boat Race on Sunday 24 September 2023 at The Boathouse pub!

The fundraising event will see teams go head to head in a series of heats in front of crowds of spectators to see who will be crowned top dragons.

Each crew of up to 11 members, to include a drummer to keep everyone in time, will paddle at least three 200m courses in a traditional 30’ dragon boat.

Everyone who participates in the Bath Dragon Boat Race will be supporting a charity based in Bath: Designability, Mentoring Plus or Rainforest Concern.

Each crew member has to be 16 and over but no previous experience is necessary – just plenty of team spirit.

You may enter more than one crew for a bit of added competition. Fancy dress is optional, but encouraged!

The dragon boats, qualified helms and all equipment will be supplied by the events company who will be co-ordinating the racing on the day.

The entry fee per boat is £550 and crews are then asked to raise a minimum of £650 in sponsorship for their chosen charity.

If you would like to enter a team, please email fundraising@designability.org.uk or call 01225 824103 to obtain a registration form.
