CORPORATE CHALLENGE in Leduc!Source: Dominique Vrolyk, Pipestone Flyer
On Sunday, June 19, the 2011 CORPORATE CHALLENGE came to the City of Leduc featuring its Dragon Boat Race segment on Telford Lake in the heart of downtown Leduc. The host event was in fact the 4th ANNUAL LEDUC DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL, organized by Kevin Kwan and the Edmonton Dragon Boat Racing Club (EDBRC) to benefit the Black Gold Health Foundation. The regional internet radio station Leduc Radio (.com) was on site, providing a live feed of the end of each heat, as well as a colourful commentary by station manager Kirk C. The impressive number of 37 teams brought several hundred paddlers, their support teams and loved ones to the rainy and wind swept shores of Telford Lake.
Paddlers and spectators agreed that the event was well planned and executed in a timely fashion. Many tents provided a welcome respite from the pounding rain, but paddlers felt that the rain didn’t matter, as they were prepared to get wet while on the water. Paddlers, like many other sports enthusiasts are not fair weather athletes, as blistering heat and cold rainy weather doesn’t affect their performance.

Local dragon boat crew on their way to China for championshipsSource: Nick Lees, Edmonton Journal
EDMONTON - Edmonton is proving it really is the City of Champions by sending two dragon boat teams to the July 24 Commonwealth Championships in Penang, Malaysia.
A team has also qualified to compete in the World Club Crew Championships in Macau, China.
"All team members began paddling in Edmonton as members of a corporate team or in a beginner training program," says Kevin Kwan, the Edmonton Dragon Boat Racing Club head coach.
"The sport is becoming increasing popular because everyone can take part. You can't have a superstar. Everyone has to work together. A boat doesn't leave anyone behind."
