Registration for the 32nd Dragon Boat Race Eglisau 2024
A visit from Ireland and maybe China?
As every year, we will open our online registration on 1 April (Easter Monday) at 12:00 noon and then it's time to hit the keys to get one of the highly coveted starting places at the 32nd Dragon Boat Race Eglisau. So once again set the reminder with alarm function in your electronic agenda. Within the next 48 hours after registration you will find out whether you and your team have been able to secure a starting place.
We are still sticking to our "first come, first serve" system. In addition to the sponsors, only the top three teams in each category from the previous year will be given the opportunity to register early.
In addition to a women's team from Ireland, the start of the Chinese Club World Champion from Dongguan is still uncertain. We will see who keeps the dragon nostrils in front. Will it be the Chinese again, the Freshwoman team from Ireland or will the Swiss clubs pull off a coup?
