The 2015 event hopes to bring back the glory (& guts) of the 2012 & 2013 events.

Where: VCKC Club House on the Gorge west of Tillicum Bridge (355 Gorge Rd W., Victoria)

What: Two different race types:

1. 2500-meter combined-time race in 10-paddler boats. (only one category, Mixed)
In the morning each team will race a 1250 metre course with a buoy turn (out and back).
In the afternoon, each team will race the same course in a different dragon boat.
The two times will be combined to see who gets the glory and medals.

2. Sprints: 200-meter races in IDBF-certified 10-paddler boats.
Results will be ranked by team category (Women's or Mixed) for awarding of medals.
