Hosted by Saint Martin's University in cooperation with Washington Dragon Boat Association.

Dragon boat racing dates back to fourth-century  China to commemorate a famed poet, Qu Yuan, who threw himself in the Milo River to protest the political turmoil and suffering of the people at that time. Nowadays, dragon boat racing is primarily for fun and is festive in nature.

This will be the fifth dragon boat race at the Capitol Lake in Olympia. The event is expected to draw over 4,000 spectators. Saint Martin's University is proud to be hosting the event with the cooperation of the Washington Dragon Boat Association.
