2023 Dragon Boat Challenge FURTHER UPDATED

Yes we are busy planning for this year's Charity Dragon Boat Challenge on Sunday 28th May 2023 - details of the event can be found here and you can find the entry forms etc. on the related pages. Come and join us!


Plans are complete for this year's Dragon Boat Challenge on Sunday 28th May 2023 !

Held as an annual event since 2014, apart from the Covid years,  the Medway Sunlight Rotary Club Charity Dragon Boat Challenge is held on the Whitsun Sunday on the waters of Basin 2, part of the old Chatham Naval Dockyard.

Apart from everyone having a fun and colourful day out we have raised over £76,000 in this time for local and national charites and organisations helping to really make a difference in the community.

Why not come and experience this unique experience run in conjunction with the Chatham Maritime Trust Food and Drinks Festival?  The Festival runs from Saturday 27th May until Monday 29th May 2023 with the Dragon Boat racing running between 10.30 and 5pm on Sunday 28th.

Get further information by emailing  dragonboat@medwaysunlightrotary.org.uk 

Last year over 8000 spectators enjoyed the day - see you there!
