Join the Lincoln Dragon Boat Race

Entry for the Lincoln Dragon Boat Race 2025 has been launched by Ringrose Law.

“Steeped in ancient Chinese tradition, dragon boat racing is a vibrant, high-energy event that originated as a way to bring prosperity and avert misfortune,” explained organiser Alex Bennett.

“Today, it’s a global sport and, Lincoln’s Brayford Waterfront will once again play host to this spectacular event on Saturday, July 12 from 11 am onwards.”

Why Join the Excitement?

Last year’s event attracted over 1,000 spectators and featured more than 20 teams—ranging from local businesses to enthusiastic fundraising groups—all competing for the winner’s trophy. Even better, the event raised over £10,000 for the first responder charity, LIVES.

This year, teams can raise money for a local charity of their choice and with around 10 teams already signed up, including headline sponsors Siemens, the 2025 event promises to be bigger and better than ever!

What’s in Store?

Each dragon boat crew consists of:

Up to 10 paddlers

1 drummer to keep the rhythm alive

A professional steering helm (provided by the organisers)

“Whether you’re in the boat or cheering from the shore, this ancient festival offers non-stop entertainment, including family-friendly activities both on and off the water. It’s a day packed with action, laughter, and community spirit,” added Alex.

Join the Race

Ringrose Law, now in its eighth year of organising the Lincoln Dragon Boat Race, is inviting groups to assemble a team and be part of this event.

Alex added: “We’re beyond excited for this year’s Dragon Boat Race. It’s a day filled with fun, racing, and entertainment for all, and we’re eager to see the community come together to support incredible local charities. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it!”
