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.
