Welcome to the home of Race the Dragon Ltd, the heart and soul of dragon boat racing in the UK. We specialise in providing dragon boat racing events and event infrastructure in the UK, for charity, corporate and youth organisations.  

Originating from China over 2000 years ago, steeped in a magical yet heroic myth Dragon Boat Racing has become the world’s fastest growing water sport. Dragon boats are 12 meters long decorated with a traditional dragons head, tail and drum. Each boat can have between 10 and 16 paddlers providing the power, a drummer to beat a steady rhythm, and a helm to steer. The dragon’s are raced against each other in a spectacular energetic display.         

Over 2000 years of history in the making – one special event
