It's official! Plans for the Inter-firm Dragon Boat Challenge II are underway.

Take part in an exhilarating team-building adventure and join the Inter-firm Dragon Boat Challenge for an end of summer showdown as the river Lee comes to life to the beating of drums, the splashing of paddles and the laughter of crews.

On Saturday 14th September, as part of the Cork Harbour Open Weekend celebrations, your company is invited to take part in what promises to be a spectacular happening!

Hop aboard these impressive 40ft- long boats and unite with a fifteen strong crew on a mission to become this summer’s champion of the Inter-firm Dragon Boat Challenge. Four colourful dragon boats, each with a drummer aboard, will sprint against each other over a distance of 250m, from the iconic R&H Hall to Cork's Lapp's Quay. Featuring 16 companies in a series of heats, semi-finals and a final, the challenge will see companies from the Port of Cork to Musgraves competing for the much coveted Dragon Boat Challenge Trophy. What are you waiting for?!

Originally practiced in China over the past 2,000 years, dragon boating has rapidly spread throughout the world, from Vancouver to Cambridge to Hong Kong, with hundreds of thousands of participants in Europe and the Americas alone.
