The 2023 Da Nang Traditional Boat Race is one of the city's important sporting events to celebrate the 78th anniversary of National Day, September 2. The Da Nang Traditional Boat Race returns after nearly 6 years of interruption, with some innovations that have brought an interesting and attractive competition on the Han River.
The tournament encourages racing teams to use traditional wooden boats that are familiar to the lives of fishermen in the Central Coast. The race course includes the starting and finishing points, which are the distance between the green and red markers south of the Han River Bridge (the section of the Han River flowing from the Dragon Bridge to the Han River Bridge).
The new feature of this year's race is that the distance between the two targets and the starting line is shortened to 750m to create exciting cross-target performances with attractive speed races. The distance for men is 5 laps equivalent to 7.5km and the distance for women is 3 laps equivalent to 4.5km.
Each male racing team has 17 people, each female racing team has 15 people. At the end of the races, the first prize in the male category belonged to the Duy Vinh racing team (Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province); the first prize in the female category belonged to the Lac Cau racing team (Thang Binh district, Quang Nam province).
After many years of interruption, the 2023 boat race has a new, exciting spirit.
The traditional boat race of Da Nang City carries the message of the people's love for the sea and islands, honoring the traditional cultural values of the country; thereby promoting and introducing the beautiful image of Da Nang to the people, domestic and international tourists. The activity also aims to encourage and enhance the movement of physical exercise and sports among all classes of people, promoting the beauty of traditional culture of the river region, especially in the local and regional fishing communities.
