Welcome to the return of the Northern California International Dragon Boat Festival!

Registration fees are based on the number Mixed Crews you register. Mixed Crews must contain a minimum of eight (8) and a maximum of ten (10) of each gender. On a space-available basis (subject to capacity constraints), each Mixed Crew registered also receives a complimentary 0.5 entry into Masters, College, Open, and Womens Divisions.

• CDBA Youth Team: $400
• Non-CDBA Youth Team: $500
• CDBA Adult Team: $600
• Non-CDBA Adult Team: $900
• Visiting Team (North America): $500
• Visiting Team (Overseas): $300

Please note the staggered registration dates and ensure you register for the correct team type once it are available (e.g., if you are a non-CDBA team, don't register as a CDBA team - wait until 7/31 and the non-CDBA registration option will appear). 

In addition, each Mixed Crew entry requires a $100 refundable trash deposit which will be refunded after the race if the crew does a good job cleaning up their site and leaving it better than they found it (please take a picture before you leave!). The refund will be processed back to the same POC that registered the team. During the registration process, we ask the POC to provide their preferred refund method (either via Zelle or physical check).

Note: All CDBA steers people must be certified through CDBA (with red cards). 

CDBA Teams: Please have your primary POC submit the team registration and pay the registration fees. This POC will be the one who will receive communications from the race organizers.

Non-CDBA teams: If your primary POC has registered/renewed their account this year, simply have them submit the team registration and pay the registration fees. If your primary POC has not registered/renewed this year, please have them create an account (select "Race Registration Only: non-CDBA Adult/College/Youth" member type) in order to submit the team registration and pay the registration fees. 

NOTE: Due to limited capacity for this race, registration is NOT complete until payment is received.  We recommend paying through RevSport or Zelle for immediate payment confirmation. If you are sending a physical check, your registration is not considered complete until the check is received and cashed (which will take time).

Once your team is registered, your primary POC will receive further information via email about how to handle online waivers and manifests. 

Our goal is to create a fun, competitive event for our paddlers. If you have questions, please reach out to Race Directors Wilson Li and Mary Cheung (ncidbfracedirector@cdba.org).
