The Dragon Roars Again!
Having mastered traversing the domain known in the scientific community as terra firma, the Nashville Hiking Meetup group is now poised to conquer the remaining 70% of the earth’s surface. We will start with a 250 meter stretch of the Cumberland River by vanquishing all who dare oppose us.
Join your hiking buddies in this dragon boat race to benefit the Cumberland River Compact! Compete against other Nashville teams rowing our butts off! Nashville Dragon Boat Races and Festival Saturday, September 29, Riverfront Park, Nashville, Tennessee.
Opening Ceremony 8:30 AM
Races Start at 9:00 AM
In previous years, Nashville Hiking Meetup has dominated the divisions our boats competed in, and this year we're bringing home the gold! Voted the Best Team Building Event by the Nashville Scene, race in this high energy paddling event for some friendly competition and team building, while bringing awareness to our Cumberland River and a healthier river ecosystem.
Teams of 21 people (we need 20 paddlers plus a drummer) will race along the Cumberland and need your help to cheer them along. Bring your friends and family down for a fun day celebrating our wonderful Cumberland River. Opening ceremony at 8:30. Races begin at 9:00 with the Grand Championship Finale at approximately 3:45.
Signing up and paying here does not guarantee you a spot on a boat. Depending on how many people sign up, we may not have an even number of folks for one or two boats. If we have to drop people you will get a full refund.

One extra note - even if you cannot participate in the actual races, you can still show support for both the Cumberland River Compact and the NHM paddling team with an RSVP. We've had several NHM members who have expressed a desire to participate, but can't afford the $60 event fee. Your RSVP could support these team members in our pursuit of the gold!

At this point, I don't think we have enough participation for even one boat. Come on, folks! It's fun, it's for a good cause, and it would be a shame for us not to get at least ONE boat out there!

Folks -
Many of you may not be aware, but the registration requirements for participation in this year's races have changed. The full team fee has to be paid in full to register as a team, and the deadline for registration is September 10. That means we need at least 21 confirmed and paid attendees (at least 42 if we want to do two boats) by September 9, for Kelly to make the registration deadline.Nashville Hiking Meetup has been participating in the Dragon Boat Festival for the past four years now, and our paddling teams have always made a strong showing, frequently winning the championship in their respective divisions. One of the primary functions of the Festival is to raise funds to support the advocacy work of the Cumberland River Compact, which works to improve water quality and conservation efforts on the Cumberland River. Show your community spirit AND your competitive spirit and sign up today!
