Seventy Two seats will be available for the Dragon Tournament. Anyone can sign up for these races, no experience is needed. Individuals will be divided into teams of 18 racers. Before boarding the boats, paddlers will get a 20 minute introduction to the dragon boat stroke, how to work as a team and boat safety. Teams will warm up on the water then race three 200 meter races (a heart pounding one minute race). The winning team will have the best record across the three races. Boats are steered by experts and all paddlers wear floatation as precaution.

Awards will follow the races on the main stage.
