A day of fun, excitement and furious paddling, with teams of 17 people (including a drummer) racing down the River Trent in 40ft dragon boats.

Each crew will be given training and then will race over the 250m course.

All teams will be raising money for their chosen area of Nottingham's hospitals and this campaign page is the place you can see who is taking part and how much has been raised so far.

To sign up teams must pay a £50 registration and then commit to raise a minimum of £850 in sponsorship for Nottingham Hospitals Charity (in support of any ward/area).
