Cedar River Gang+

The Cedar River Gang+ (CRG) emerged from the mists of the mighty Cedar River in Cedar Rapids, Iowa nearly 4 decades ago. Though many paddlers have come and gone, some legendary; others infamous, the spirit of the sport, the friendship, and a love of a good time remain at the team's core. Our team extends from young to well seasoned paddlers. It is believed that the youth & enthusiasm of our less aged paddlers and the strong output from our aged “power house paddlers” allow us to triumph on the water. Through the competitive nature and sheer athleticism of dragon boat racing, CRG has retained the inner fire that was stoked when it was forged so many years ago. Our core paddlers are a dedicated group that show up for every practice and we actively recruit from around the midwest adding the + to our team of competitive paddlers to round out the boat for competition.
