Knot A Breast - Breast Cancer Dragon Boat Team

09/06/2026

The festival has finished, and it was all about uniting breast cancer survivors through dragon boating.
On the final day of events (last weekend) 174 teams participated in one big final event, 1000m race. This filled in for the 500m races that were canceled due to inclement weather.

KAB's final standings in the 1000m event for our two crews,
KAB #1 achieved a time of 5:11.54 & our second crew, KAB De Nouveau, had to stop paddling in their 1000m heat to avoid a collision, resulting in a time of 6:57.65.
Great job by both crews & our two steers-persons, who faced challenges on the water.
The IBCPC doesn’t keep official standings or rankings, nor does it have official winners or podium spots, everyone gets a medal. But many breast cancer teams are really competitive and work hard to win. But hey, in the grand scheme of things, all the BC paddlers are truly winners! 👏
