The largest school dragon boat event in the country this festival is open to all schools across the province, with 50 teams coming to compete some as far as Cross Lake! Races start at the Manitoba Canoe & Kayak Center, 9:00 am Sunday morning and usually finish around 4:00 pm. Family and friends are welcome to come cheer on these amazing teams.
Started in 1990, the Manitoba School Dragon Boat Challenge started as a war canoe event for teams to test their speed and skill against over schools in the province. Senior and Junior High teams race 500m in a battle to the finish to be names the fastest boat on the water. Don’t forget that at the end of the day there is always a exciting 8 boat final race!
