What is a Dragon Boat Race?
Dragon boat racing involves having 2 or more dragon boats race from ‘point a’ to ‘point b’ in a straight line. The boats start from ‘point a’, and who ever is the first to reach the finish line at ‘point b’ is the winner. The length between ‘point a’ and ‘point b’ varies. The most common races are 250 meters, 500 meters, and even 1200 meters (in which case, boats race around a number of laps)!
