And… with the conclusion of the AOCRA Marathon National Titles in Mooloolaba on Saturday 18 May, the Pacific Dragons officially completes its local racing season. Here’s how we did recently:

Well done all!
For those who are thinking, how can I be part of this? Well, we’re still on the water, though of course our programme has changed, with a mixture of off-season paddling, and some race training for those of us competing at The Gorge Race and The Gorge Downwind Champs, in Stevenson, Oregon US, in July. We have warm day-time weather for at least another month, and the water stays warm for another month after that, so why not come try paddling with us? Talk to our recruitment officer, Cassy and we look forward to welcoming you at a training session soon!
