Giant boats with dragon heads and crews of 20 rowers, Dragon Boat racing is a sport generally done in good spirit and for fundraising (in this case for a childrens hospital in Chattanooga.)

The Post and Courier has a brief about the medal wins, while the Chattanooga Times Free Press has a profile of the Chattanooga Dragon Boat Festival.
