Los Angeles Racing Dragons What is a dragon boat? A dragon boat is essentially a 40 foot canoe that accommodates 20 paddlers ( What is LARD? How did LARD begin?

In 1996, there was a group of parents and their children from the Pomona Valley Chinese Association. Placing 3rd overall in the 1st Annual Viewsonic Long Beach International Dragon Boat Festival sparked an interest in the group to grow and start an official racing team, the Los Angeles Racing Dragons. The LA Racing Dragons is comprised of people from a range of ages, occupations, and backgrounds. We share a common passion for the sport, desire to see the team continue to improve and an interest to promote dragon boat racing. Our annual racing circuit includes competitions in Long Beach, Tempe, San Francisco, and Vancouver. Individuals from LARD have also participated in composite teams for tournaments abroad. In 2003, LARD was approved for 501©(3) Federal Non-Profit Status and helped found the Los Angeles Pink Dragons (LAPD), an all breast cancer survivor crew - officially joining the organization in 2004. In the past few years, LARD has established itself as the premier Los Angeles area dragon boat team and has gone head to head against world class teams in regional competition, earning the respect of our peers all over North America.
