RACE RESULTS
We apologize for the website crash which delayed the posting of Sunday’s schedule and the resulting delays during Sunday afternoon races.
We offer our sincerest apologies to the Leo Club, Waiward Warriors and the Red Eyes Paddling Club from Calgary who unfortunately got caught in the same progression grid glitch as last year and subsequently did not receive their hard-won medals or due recognition on stage. We are in the process of rectifying this such that will not happen again!
A HUGE THANK YOU
… to all the volunteers who helped us navigate in our return to the newly designed Louise McKinney site - you are the backbone of the Festival!
… to all our sponsors who contributed their resources
… to the teams who traveled far and wide to come to Edmonton’s Premiere Dragon Boat Festival
… to all Edmonton teams who not only paddled but were fantastic ambassadors in helping host one of the BEST Dragon Boat Festivals in our organization’s 12-year history
