Chinese festival event
A dragon boat race is a competition where teams paddle long, narrow boats decorated with dragon heads and tails, racing to the beat of a drum.
The sport originated in China and is associated with the Duanwu Festival.
Crews of ten to twenty paddlers synchronize their strokes while a drummer sets the pace and a steerer guides the boat: Our company entered a team in the dragon boat race.
