Spectacle and sport meet again Saturday, June 27, 2009 when the 7th Annual Knoxville Dragon Boat Races breathe fire on the water at The Cove at Concord Park. The races pit corporate and community teams against each other for a friendly competition in 41-foot long dragon boats. Cultural activities on land add to the flavor of this ancient Asian ritual.

The charitable component of the race operates much like a 5K run/walk. Team members raise pledges for Knox Area Rescue Ministries. Teams paddle for first prize, but opportunities abound for more prizes and honorable recognition, including:

Highest Pledges Raised by an Individual

Highest Pledges Raised by a Team

Most Team Spirit

Each team races in two qualifying heats to determine if they place in a final division. Teams are ranked based on their lowest averaged race time from their qualifying heats and compete in the following divisions: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Teams also compete in various divisions when they register.
