The race attracts some 300 boat racers.

During the event, the participating teams competed in three categories, including a boat race for peace, men’s and women’s events. All the competitions received active encouragement of local people.

The boat race is a traditional sports event held annually on the occasion of the Lunar New Year festival to encourage local people to do physical exercise and also raise their swimming skills to actively cope with natural disasters and search and rescue for those in distress (Dai Loc district is usually flooded in rainy season). It also serves to seek the best athletes for the eighth Quang Nam provincial Sports Festival.
