Dive into the heart of Chinese tradition and join us for a day of thrilling competition, community spirit, and charitable giving at the 2024 Lincoln Dragon Boat Race! This year, we’re riding the powerful wave of the Dragon year—a symbol steeped in ambition, courage, and innovation, perfectly embodying the spirit of our competitors.
Hosted on the stunning Lincoln Brayford Waterfront, this spectacle unfolds on Saturday, 15th June, promising an unforgettable experience from midday onwards. Immerse yourself in a tradition that dates back centuries, originally celebrated to bring prosperity and avert misfortune, and has since evolved into a globally beloved sport.
The 2024 race marks the seventh annual event proudly organised by Ringrose Law and LIVES, bringing together the community in a vibrant display of teamwork and determination. Last year, we were thrilled to see 24 dynamic teams clash oars in a bid to secure the coveted title, drawing crowds by the hundreds and raising nearly £20,000 for LIVES. This year, we aim to soar even higher, and we’re already off to a flying start with 10 teams, including esteemed Headline Partners Siemens, eagerly lined up at the starting line.
Dan Greig of National Grid, victors of the 2023 race, shares their excitement: “National Grid is thrilled to return, supporting LIVES. Last year’s race was a highlight, and we’re eager to defend our title against the best Lincoln has to offer!”
We’re calling on local businesses, charitable organisations, and spirited groups to join the fray. With teams comprising up to 10 paddlers, a heart-pounding drummer leading the charge, and a skilled helm guiding your journey, this is your chance to make waves for a noble cause.
Beyond the race, the festival atmosphere will be buzzing with activities for families and spectators, ensuring a day packed with entertainment, fun, and community engagement.
John Knight, Director of Ringrose Law, captures our anticipation: “We’re gearing up for an extraordinary day of racing and festivities. It’s more than a race; it’s a chance to make a difference for LIVES, supporting the invaluable work of Lincolnshire’s first responders.”
