Get your team together and paddle your way to victory in the annual Dragon Boat Race for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) charity.
Teams of up to 11 people (10 paddlers plus a drummer who helps keep everyone in time) will take to the waters to compete in a series of races to bid to be crowned the DofE Dragon Boat Champions of 2026!
This is a fantastic team building opportunity for businesses, sports clubs, community groups and schools.
As we celebrate 70 years of the DofE, we’re fundraising to support the next generation at a time when they need it most. Get your team together and help make sure no young person is prevented from doing their DofE due to financial barriers.
