Take part in the spectacle that is NE1’s Dragon Boat Race and raise funds for Grace House!
We are looking for 16 people to take part in this iconic event on Saturday 30th September along the River Tyne. Paddle as fast as you can from the Tyne Bridge to the Millenium Bridge to beat the competition and take home the crown of Dragon Boat Race Champions 2023!
Alongside the race, there will be loads of fun activities taking place along the Quayside for those staying dry on land, so bring your cheer squad with you and make a day of it.
You will receive full training and all safety equipment will be provided, all you have to do is work as part of a team and enjoy the experience!
Each team will have a minimum of 3 races throughout the event.
Entry is £50 per person and then raise what you can in sponsorship, no minimum requirements. Entrants must be 16 or over.
There is also an opportunity to sponsor the boat, please email Laura for more information about this, [email protected]
