The Richmond Dragon Boat Festival - Rip Up the River, is a premier summer dragon boat festival that takes place annually in July in Richmond, BC, Canada.
This event in Richmond has enjoyed tremendous success and received rave reviews from participating crews and the media.  In our hopes to continue to build a premier summer event for paddlers and spectators alike.  We are also proud to feature a Breast Cancer Challenge Race, where Survivors from Canada and USA compete exclusively against each other to demonstrate that there is life after breast cancer. After the Challenge Race there is the Pink Carnation Ceremony remembering those in treatment and those no longer with us.

That seems odd. What happens to the crew that finishes 4th in the first race? Where do they go to race again? Or am I reading that wrong. Afterall I am getting older!  Rolling Eyes

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for the team to reach the heights of it's capabilities or achieve winning results without becoming very good at it. You must practice TEAMWORK as a team, not as individuals!

It's great to see so many out of town teams going to this festival. Anyone want to try their luck and predict placements? Judging on how the race grid has been set up with what looks like the expected winners in Lane 2... it looks like the organizers are expecting the final to look like...

Roli Canada Open
Just Dragon Along
Xtreme Reach
Lotus Sports Club

Then again, does anyone else find that their seeding is somewhat suspect? They have Alpha and Sudden Impact racing each other in the first round. Didn't those two teams come 2nd and 3rd overall in last week's races in Harrison?

"The race distance will be approximately 450 meters because you will be paddling into a current." Ahhh... sounds like fun

No relation,  we are from the other side of the strait in Victoria, based out of the Gorge Rowing and Paddling Centre (GRPC), coached by James Hill, formerly of the Gorging Dragons.

New race grid up again.
Version 3.

Looks like GPRC United has entered the race to make things interesting...

From discussion with other paddlers that wish to remain nameless, it'll probably be Xtreme Reach, Roli Open (if they beat fodb), GRPC United, and TD in the final.
