About Us

The Mighty Women Paddling Club began its journey during the summer of 2002 after the Portland Rose Festival races. United by a common love for dragon boat racing, the members of this team broke away from an existing club to develop into their own independent, internationally competitive dragon boat team.

The Mighty Women Paddling Club is one of the few women's teams in Portland that practices throughout most of the year in order to develop their skills and increase their competitive edge. The team is looking forward to paddling their hardest in 2008 in what is sure to be a great racing season!

MWPC Mission Statement

Our mission is to build community, fitness, and fun through competitive dragonboat racing where the rewards of friendship, spirit of cooperation, and respect for nature are encouraged by all.
