Join the APABA-DC Dragon Boat Team for fun on the water and (potential) glory! We'll be competing in the 2024 Washington DC Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, May 18, held at the Thompson Boat Center in Georgetown.
A dragon boat consists of 20 paddlers, a drummer, and a steersperson (provided by the festival organizer) working in sync to make the boat fly across the water. No experience needed to join the team! We'll have 1-2 optional practice sessions (4/28 and 5/5, 12pm-1:30pm) before race day so you can become familiar with the boat. You do not need to attend a practice session to participate in the race. Whether you've never picked up a paddle before or you're excited at the thought of overtaking another boat, we encourage you to sign up for a wonderful team-building and networking experience.
We'll provide snacks, lunch, drinks, and a team t-shirt on race day. To join the team, please register. Members: $20; Non-members: $25.
