It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I welcome you to our website. Whether you are here to explore, learn, or engage, we hope you find what you're looking for and much more.
Our Mission
Is “to raise awareness of breast cancer and the benefits of dragon boat racing; to show and mentor others who are weakened by the struggle with breast cancer that there is life after this disease; to encourage and empower ourselves and others to face their dragons with an indomitable spirit; to look beyond today, to a future filled with hope and promise.”

Our membership is open to EVERYONE!
You do NOT have to be an athlete to join the Machestic Dragons.
Not sure if you’d like to join our team? We invite you to come to a practice for free, sign our insurance waiver, don your safety gear, and paddle with coach Ken and other team members in the boat, before signing up for membership.
Machestic Dragons membership is a low annual fee that includes all practices with a coach, entrance fees to all races we participate in, and many off season events. Please note that most, if not all, other dragon boat teams charge additional fees for every race and every event they attend.
Membership fee for new member is $150; returning member is $100, and non-paddling member is $60. We also have a family membership available for $175, minors must be accompanied by a member 18 years of age or older.
We expect that all members volunteer in person at our annual fundraiser Paddle for Pink every June at Mercer Lake.
