I’m on a Team – what can I bring to the CAPITAL CITY DRAGON BOAT RACE?

YES!

  • Your own lifejacket (but we have PFDs for everyone if you don’t own one.)
  • Chairs, blankets, suntan lotion
  • Food and beverages, coolers, ice
  • Refillable water bottles
  • $$ to vote for your team theme, buy some race merchandise, support the food trucks!
  • Your Team Buddy – a volunteer who will monitor your team’s race schedule to keep you on time, and who will guard your stuff while you’re on the water.
  • Your camera – make sure it’s water friendly! Yep, you can wear a Go Pro, but don’t stop paddling in the middle of the race to adjust it!
  • Safe shoes for dragon boating – sandals are okay, but need a strap across your heel.
  • Yes to a big happy smile – there will be lots of folks taking your picture as you paddle in this unique race!
  • IMPORTANT: Lifejackets (PFDs) MUST be worn anytime you are on the dock or on the water. No exceptions.
  • Your Team Buddy – a volunteer who will watch your race schedule, and guard your stuff while you’re on the water.

Nope!

  • Your own paddle
  • Anything bigger than a 10’x10’ awning
  • No trailers, vehicles, etc. in the park.
  • Anything with alcohol in it – sorry, our permits don’t allow this.
  • Our permits also don’t allow anything that generates heat = no grills, candles, canned Sterno, etc.
  • Your pets – it’s a long day, please leave them in the comfort of your home.
  • No flip-flop shoes or bare feet on the boats.
  • Please, no bottled water – we’re trying to ‘Be Green’.
  • There will not be electric service for you to recharge your devices – plan ahead or relax and have an old-fashion phone-free day!
  • This one’s so important we’re repeating it: Lifejackets (PFDs) MUST be worn anytime you are on the docks or on the water. No exceptions.
