2023 - Lincoln Dragon Boat Race with LIVES

Lincoln Dragon Boat Festival Ignites Brayford Waterfront with Exhilarating Races and Spirited Crowds

The heart-pounding action of the Lincoln Dragon Boat Festival took center stage on the vibrant Brayford Waterfront this past Saturday, captivating the imagination of hundreds of spectators and unleashing the competitive spirit of 21 fiercely determined team crews. Organised by Ringrose Law and in support of the indispensable local charity, LIVES, the festival proved to be an awe-inspiring showcase of skill, camaraderie, and community spirit.

The Brayford Waterfront came alive as businesses from across the County assembled their finest teams to face off in over 20 thrilling boat races along a 200-meter racecourse. The atmosphere was electric as participants left no paddle stroke unturned in their quest for victory. After a day of intense competition, it was National Grid who emerged triumphant, conquering the challenging course in a blazing 65.19 seconds, with Brown and Co hot on their heels, finishing in an impressive 68.65 seconds.

However, the Lincoln Dragon Boat Festival was about more than just fierce competition. The event served as a powerful fundraising platform, with all proceeds set to be announced in the upcoming weeks, benefiting the remarkable efforts of local charity LIVES. Dedicated to attending 999 medical emergencies throughout Lincolnshire, 365 days a year, the volunteers of LIVES selflessly provide rapid first response support and highly specialized medical interventions to those in need. The funds raised from this exhilarating event will directly contribute to equipping and training these unsung heroes, enabling them to continue saving lives when every second counts.
