Massive THANK YOU to the Raging Dragons and their unstoppable volunteer crew!

The Sydenham Challenge wouldn’t happen without the fierce dedication of the Raging Dragons dragon boat team. They pour countless hours to bring this event to life—and it showed in every wave, cheer, and finish line moment.

To our dock hands, starters, finish line crew, Marshalls, and every single volunteer who steps up: you are the heartbeat of this challenge. Your energy, precision, and teamwork keep the day running smoothly and make it unforgettable for everyone involved.
We’re beyond grateful for the passion and community spirit you bring to the water. You don’t just run an event—you created a celebration.

Here’s to the fire, the fun, and the fierce commitment that makes the Sydenham Challenge a roaring success!
