About Us

As Louisville’s first Dragon Boat Racing team we are proud to be part of the 100+ Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat Racing teams throughout the world. Our team was founded in April, 2013, as we sought to strengthen our spirits, prove that we weren’t defined by our shared diagnosis and support each other in our individual struggles. The Derby City Dragons is a team that welcomes breast cancer survivors, regardless of age, fitness level or previous experience. We share a zest for fun, life, health and sportsmanship, and promise that members will build new lifelong friendships as they “awaken the dragon within themselves”!
