September Dragon Boat Festival
September 13th 2026
This Festival is different from our others, instead of our normal 4 to 8 boat straight-line race this festival is in pursuit format in 10 person boats. Races start are held at the Manitoba Canoe & Kayak Center, and, as always, come out to watch teams pursue each other around the course in 500m races.
Red River Challenge Boat Rentals
We rent seas kayaks, racing SUP (24”), and tandem canoes for the Red River Challenge. We will transport the boats to the race course, and pick them up after the race is finished.
