The 2009 Gold Division Champions are the Cedar River Gang from Iowa. This marks the first time a team from outside of Bemidji has taken the top prize. The final included the defending champion Hydra Heads who earlier in the day had set the all time festival record for fastest time at just over 2:03. Also in the finals for the 4th year in a row were the Coors Light Wooly Irishman and rounding out the field of the championship race and finishing in 2nd place was the River City Dragons from Winnipeg.

Mark your calendar now, the 5th Annual Lake Bemidji Dragon Boat Festival is August 5-7th, 2010. We hope you will be a part of the fun!
