Penang International Dragon Boat Festival committee successfully bid for this Dragon Boat 1st Club Crew Championship for Commonwealth Countries in August 2009.

The event is a warm up to the 7th IDBF Club Crew World Championship in Macau on 29 Jul-1 Aug 2010. We expect around 2,000 dragon boat participants to visit Penang to take part in this competition.


Rowers from different crew clubs will come together to compete in this fast growing water sports in this region.Note: Dragon boat racing is one of our Penang State Signature Event. It is among the fastest growing water sports in this region. Dragon Boat Racing has become a very popular corporate and charitable sport, during which friendship, strength and endurance are developed among the participants.

Let's hope this event will be a success and not bringing up the tragic memory of the incident last year again :)
