Welcome to the Capital City Dragon Boat Race website.
On Sunday September 2, 2012 participants and spectators will enjoy a fun filled day of dragon boat racing and entertaining cultural activities at East Lou Adado Park. This years race will be limited to 36 teams so sign your team up early to ensure your place in this exciting race.
We are pleased to announce our expanded partnership with both the Greater Lansing Sports Authority and Team Lansing Foundation. But we will still have our good friends from last year on board! The Lansing Rowing Club will return as our community share partner and Mid-MEAC will participate in a more targeted role, providing important education about our wonderful river. We look forward to working together with these awesome organizations to bring you an amazing race!
Proceeds from this year’s race will be donated to Team Lansing Foundation and will benefit the recreational development of the riverfront from Michigan Avenue to Saginaw Street, increasing access and usability for residents and visitors.
Don’t forget the Michigan Mosaic Music Festival which will take place the same weekend, just across the river in West Adado Park. Two great events = one great Labor Day Weekend in Downtown Lansing!
The 2011 Capital City Dragon Boat race was a big success! Hundreds of competitors gathered in East Adado Park to welcome the dragons and then raced down the Grand River. We had amazing teams and thousands of spectators and volunteers. We were honored by the support from the Greater Lansing community and we’re looking forward to this years race.
