VCKC Guts ‘n Glory Dragonboat Races (Sat. Aug 27th 2011)
2nd Annual Guts ‘n Glory Dragonboat Event
on Saturday 27th August 2011
On the Victoria Gorge Waterway
The Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club (VCKC) will hold their dragonboat races two weeks after the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival. There will be two separate events offered during the festival, and teams can register for either one, or both.
Event #1: Guts & Glory: Two 1250 meter races in VCKCs two 6-16s, with times being combined to determine the results.
Event #2: Vancouver Island’s first Champion Sprints. Teams of ten paddlers will participate in 200 meter sprints (drag races, really) in Champion 9 meter dragon boats.
Prizes will be awarded in both events.
Registration fee will be $10 per crew member, i.e. $220 for the Guts & Glory event, and $120 for the Champion Sprints. Paddlers will also get a special “Beer and Burger” deal you won’t see anywhere else, and there will be terrific live entertainment. You do NOT want to miss this groundbreaking event!
Full details will be posted on the VCKC website (http://vckc.ca/dragonboat)
