Malia Racing

We’re currently in winter training mode, training independently in the gym and together on Wednesday nights in Burlington.

Paddling begins mid-May with two tracks: Racing and Recreational.

Racing Track
Mon+Weds 6pm.
The focus for this track is competition – each session focuses on technique plus different racing elements and strategy.  Opportunity to also practice on Saturday mornings (see below) if there are open seats.
Tentative Races: Lachine Knockout (6/10/23 Montreal), Montreal Challenge (7/1-7/2/2023 Montreal), US National Championships (7/21-23/2023 Sarasota), Quebec Cup (9/16-9/17 Montreal).

Recreational Track 
Saturdays at 9am starting in June. Focus for these sessions is learning dragon boat technique, getting a workout, and enjoying the lake. Paddlers in these sessions will be a mix of newbies and former team members who are unable to commit to twice-weekly training or racing this season.

Interested in learning more? Attend our Discovery Session at Queen City Brewery on January 12, 6pm, at Queen City Brewery on Pine Street in Burlington. Register here.
