High-energy day of racing with a Cultural Village and Health & Wellness Village.
Blending ancient culture with the excitement of sport and competition, transforming Busse Woods (Ned Brown Preserve) into the host venue for this high-energy day of racing. With festival grounds just a short drive from downtown Chicago, it’s no surprise that this event has grown to become one of the most popular destinations on the MLDB map for US and Canadian teams alike. Come see the world's fastest growing water sport at Busse Lake. Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength with teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates in ancient China.
