Here's what you can expect from participating in the Vancouver Island Dragon Boat Festival in beautiful Victoria BC:

1. a supplied team tent in the event's beautiful paddlers' village, along with spare paddles and PFDs if you don't have your own
2. a full day of races on Saturday: 500m x 1; 200m x 1; and 100m x 1
3. a full day of races on Sunday: FGPC's famous flag relay; a 1500m guts and glory race; and for the top 3 finishing teams in women's and mixed divisions: a grand final
4. medals will be awarded for cumulative placement for all participating teams

Please note, women paddlers have the option of being on a mixed crew or a women's crew, or can be on both a mixed crew and a women's crew at no extra cost.

We will make every effort to assign friends or existing teammates to the same crew. We'll be collecting that kind of information as we set up boat rosters.
