Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club in partnership with Water's Edge Sport Performance Inc. are pleased to announce the sixth annual Harrison DragonFest, to take place on July 24th, 2010 in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs, BC.
With registration selling out in 2009 this event has quickly become one of the paramount one-day dragon boat events within the Pacific Northwest. This year we hope to capture that same spirit and bring you even more exciting races, community-sponsored attractions and festivities - all with the beautiful backdrop of stunning Harrison Lake. This spectacular venue is easily accessible to teams from all over the Pacific Northwest and only a ninety minute drive from downtown Vancouver. The central Fraser Valley location combined with the stunning surroundings makes this a welcome one-day getaway or a weekend retreat.
We hope to see you on the water July 24th 2010.. |

The Challenge Cup is a trophy awarded annually to the top team in the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club. All club teams compete against each other in a round robin tourniment. The top two teams then compete head to head to see who reigns supreme. The winners receive the cup and bragging rights for the year. As with all challenge cups, the trophy is returned to be challenged for the next year.
The 2009 Challenge Cup winners were the Pirates Dragon Boat Team coached by Ian Paul. The Pirates, posting the fastest time of the day, pulled out all the stops to fiend off the Thunderstrokers in the final race for a triumphant victory. Good job one and all.
Past winners include:
- The Crusaders - 2008
- The Thunderstrokers - 2007

Four dragon boat teams competed hard as the 3rd Annual Corporate Challenge was held today at the beautiful Harrison Lake in downtown Harrison Hot Springs. The Dewey Decimaters, The VLEC Wave Monkeys, The Abby Panthers and The Municipal Menace competed against one another in four very tough races.
When the dust settled and the times were added up, it was VLEC Wave Monkeys up against Municipal Menace for the Challenge Cup. With only .25 of a second separated the two teams, the VLEC Wave Monkeys were victorious. With the cup comes bragging rights for a full year. The only way to keep the cup after that it to Challenge again for it. We hope to see everyone out again next year |
