The results are in! - Dragon Boat Race 2016

Racing for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice

What a great day for a traditional ancient Chinese race! The weather remained clear with patchy blue skies and a temperature to make you think twice about a Spanish holiday (almost). The racing was competitive throughout the day, so much so that two teams ended up taking a swim, lucky enough, neither were ours! The Masteroast Oars pulled in two very respectable times and one that we'd rather not talk about, fortunately, they take our best two. Our fastest was an incredible 79.94 seconds and the other only marginally slower at 80.20. We just missed qualification and came a respectable 10th out of 29 teams.

More importantly, Sue Ryder raised over £9,500 on the day which will go directly towards end of life care in Peterborough. The Dragon Boat race 2016 was a significant celebration of the 25 years since Sue Ryder opened in Thorpe Hall and a great indication of the future support they hold.​
