Kuala
Lumpur – The normally peaceful and serene ambiance of the
Singapore River would be replaced with the grunts and groans of
both men and women in sleek dragon boats as they race to the finishing
line during the 27th Singapore River Regatta from 21 – 22
November 2009. Participants would be required to complete a short
dash of 300 meters between the Elgin Bridge and Cavenagh Bridge.
Thousands of spectators are expected to line the riverbanks to
watch their favourite teams battle it. With visitors from the
neighbouring countries expected to join the festivity, Singapore
hotels could certainly look forward to a roaring business.
Participation
in the 27th Singapore River Regatta is via 10- and 20-crew teams.
This year, several categories are offered for each team type such
as the National Championship, Tertiary, Public Service and Corporate.
Up to 100 dragon boat teams are expected to participate in the
regatta with the majority coming from private clubs in Singapore.
Amateur paddlers would come face to face with seasoned racers,
ensuring an exciting and entertaining time throughout the 2-day
event. Organized by the Singapore Dragon Boat Association in partnership
with the People's Association and the Civil Service Club, Singapore
River Regatta certainly not for the faint-hearted as it can be
particularly challenging both physically and mentally.
Lee
Lai Huat, CEO, HolidayCity.com, remarked, ‘The Singapore
River Regatta is not-to-be-missed especially by those who like
speed. It’s quite amazing to see participants in colourful
uniforms paddle with all their strength all the way to the end.’
He further said, ‘The rhythmic beating of the drums is quite
mesmerizing and further adds to the air of excitement and festivity.
With thousands of spectators coming from near and far, HolidayCity.com
