After such a successful second year, we are thrilled to announce that our third Dragon Boat Race will take place on 12th September 2026!
Returning to Whitefriars Bridge, we’re excited to build on everything that made 2025 so special. While it’s not a new location, we’re planning to make 2026 even bigger and better — expanding the event with more entertainment, more riverside fun, and an even more vibrant festival atmosphere for competitors and spectators alike.
Dragon boat racing isn’t just a vital fundraising event for Brave Futures; it’s also a brilliant community occasion and a fantastic way to bring people together. Whether you’re a group of friends, colleagues, or an organisation, this team event is a great opportunity for bonding, laughter, and a splash of healthy competition.
Could you pull together a team of 11 – 10 paddlers and the all-important drummer – to paddle your way to glory? Rally your crew, embrace the team spirit, and aim to be crowned our 2026 champions!
And it’s not just about speed… we’ll also have prizes for Best Fancy Dress, so whether you come as superheroes, sea creatures, or something completely wild, make sure your team stands out on and off the water!
Keep an eye out for more details soon — don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable day on the water.
