The Central Florida Dragonboat Challenge at Lessburg
This event is always a highlight of the Grandmasters race season. It is close to the Villages so we often get a lot of fans and family come to cheer on paddlers. It is also a time when new paddlers often are ready for their first race.
Sign up with your team.
Hope to see you there!
