NEWS (December 22, 2025): Registration is now OPEN for the 2026 season! Team votes determined the program, and we are happy to have coach Catherine MacInnes return. We worked to keep the fee low despite rising costs, and the registration fee is lower; in addition, there is an early-bird fee.
This dragon boat team was formed in 2022, and we are excited to be heading into our 5th year in 2026. Both experienced and new paddlers are very welcome to join us. ANYONE can participate in this inclusive sport, and the Rusty Dragons make it a rewarding and fun experience for all.
Coach Catherine is not only a great coach but also has a long resume of dragon boat achievements, including serving as a race official at large festivals.
