2024 Race Team Registration – Please Read
Registration for the 2024 Atlanta Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival is open! We are excited to be offering the option of both 20 seater and 10 seater boats this year! We have limited spaces available for the 10 seater boats. We have 30 slots available. First come, first served! If you sponsor at Silver level or above, you have the option of choosing either all 20 seater boats, all 10 seater boats, or a combination. Please note we are limited to the four divisions for the 10 seater boats. Please also note that there is a 2000lb weight limit for the 10-seater boats. For this reason, you must attend a practice session in order to have your boat properly loaded. Medals are awarded for each division (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) and for each size boat.

Please be sure to bring this form with you to your practice session and retain a copy to be turned in to the Regatta Race Course Registrar at the Team Captain’s meeting on race day. All paddlers participating on race day must sign this waiver.
