比赛设三省四地组12人龙舟500米直道竞速赛，本地乡镇组12人龙舟500米直道竞速赛，抢红夺标赛三个项目，16支参赛队伍在这里逐浪拼搏。赛龙舟是端午活动的重头戏。本次比赛首次邀请宜昌秭归、黄石和湖南汨罗、江苏苏州四个中国端午节“申遗地”群众代表队参加。“三省四地”群众共聚秭归、平湖挥桨，龙舟文化在竞技交流中历久弥新。现场规范化、标准化呈现“点睛-下水-游江-竞渡-抢红”等屈原故里龙舟竞渡传统仪式，溯源历史岁月，传承千年非遗。

The competition includes a 12-person dragon boat 500-meter straight-line speed race for teams from three provinces and four cities, a local town 12-person dragon boat 500-meter straight-line speed race, and a flag-grabbing race, with 16 participating teams competing fiercely. Dragon boat racing is the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival activities. For the first time, this competition has invited mass representatives from Yichang Zigui, Huangshi, Miluo in Hunan, and Suzhou in Jiangsu, which are four Chinese "Intangible Cultural Heritage" sites for the Dragon Boat Festival, to participate. People from the "three provinces and four cities" gathered in Zigui, paddling together on the lake, rejuvenating dragon boat culture through competitive exchanges. The event will present traditional dragon boat racing ceremonies such as "Dotting eyes (for Dragon Boats), Launching, Boating, Racing, and Flag-Grabbing" in a standardized and regulated manner, tracing back to historical years and inheriting intangible cultural heritage.
