The Lamma Dragons and Thirsty Horse are pleased to announce that they will host the 4th Annual Lamma 500 – International Dragon Boat Festival at Tai Wan To Beach, Lamma Island, on Sunday, May 16th 2010, from approximately 09:00 to 18:00 hrs.

The Lamma Dragons have been a vibrant part of the Hong Kong local and international Dragon Boat community for more than 20 years, and we would be delighted if your club would like to participate in our Festival during this 2010 season.

For those of you who have attended our previous Lamma Festivals, thank you for your fantastic support and we hope that you will also attend this year.

“I say, hasn’t Ascot become so passé, my dear? The Lamma 500 is definitely the event to be seen at these days.”

This new international sports event will be positioned as one of the top three dragon boat races in Hong Kong, and one of the most attractive for local and overseas teams to compete in.

Staged off Tai Wan To Beach (Power Station Beach), the Festival has a spectacular backdrop of the Lamma coastline, overlooked by the imposing peak of Mount Stenhouse.

As a cross-cultural sports event, the Lamma International Dragon Boat Festival features local Chinese and expatriate teams plus oversees teams flying into Hong Kong to compete to make a incredibly diverse melange of sporting and cultural backgrounds.

Promoters of the Festival are the highly experienced sports event management specialists, Thirsty Horse, who’s portfolio includes international soccer, tennis, athletics and cricket events.

Dragon boating is a popular sport in Hong Kong and internationally and has a positive, healthy, outdoor sporting lifestyle image which can be leveraged by sponsors for brand and product association across a whole range of products and services.
