Nothin’ Dragon is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2024 Inlet Spring Regatta to be held on Saturday, April 20!
“We are excited to host our fifth event," said host team president and event chairman, Brian Kenny of Nothin' Dragon. "Early bird registration offers a reduced price until Jan. 1, 2024, so we hope teams will take advantage of that."
Attracting dragon boaters from around the region in the first regatta for the dragon boat season, the event will consist of 200-meter races in twenty-person BuK boats. The regatta is open to all dragon boaters far and wide.
We’ve invited teams south of the border and we are anticipating some American friends to join us.
G2G Race Management will once again run the race component on the water and provide the official results. Participants can expect product vendors, food trucks, a beer garden sponsored by Yellow Dog Brewing, and live entertainment.
