Saturday, April 7, 2018One of the goals of Wharton Club of Hong Kong is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among our alumni. In continuation of our objective, the Wharton Club of Hong Kong along with Penn Club of Hong Kong is happy to organise a Dragon Boat team along with alumni of Carnegie Mellon University to take part in this year's Dragon boat race at Stanley. We will be participating in the mixed category with a team comprising of both male and female members.
Last year this event was a big success with over 20+ alumni taking part. This year even before launching the event we already have 15+ alumni from last year confirmed to take part again.
We highly encourage our alumni to register at the earliest so that we can plan for more than one boat if required

Practice Sessions: 12 hours of practice sessions of 1hr and 2hr from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon on Saturdays from April 7th through May 26th (May 26th warm up race)
Mandatory Minimum Sessions to participate on race day: At least 6 hours of practice sessions (we understand that attending all 12 hours might not be possible for all alumni who sign-up)
Venue: Stanley main beach, both for practice and main race
