Although the Dragon Aqua Club team did not complete the 100km with 10 people, but rather with 14, we think it is also a significant sports achievement, and even if they don't get a medal, it is definitely worth mentioning, mainly because of how they organized it.

There are enough machines around already, that we thought it's time to bring our old plan alive and start a challenge to make your winter season training more motivating. The KayakFirst 100km Toughness Challenge! The team with the best 100km time will earn the "100km record breaker" KayakFirst title with a trophy and medals!

On the 31st of October Raba Dragon Boat Club quickly broke the firstly established record of Szeged Dragon Boat Club and not just by a little! The adult team was supported and motivated by the U18 team of the club to achieve a 1 hour and 22 minutes better result.

In the gym of UTE (the club of 5-times women's kayak sprint Olympic Champion Danuta Kozak) on the 17th of October, two teams competed head to head almost till the end for the first trophy and the medals of "KayakFirst 100km toughness challenge". This time ESMTK seemed to be more durable and won the first trophy with the unbelievable 7 hours 28 minutes 32 seconds and 56centiseconds time.

18th of October in a cold, windy weather, outside at the balcony of the Szeged Dragon Boat Club's, 10 pioneers (3 brave ladies and 7 men) established the first 100km toughness challenge record of the dragon teams. They had a good reason to be happy, as they not only made an excellent time but managed to be just below 11 hours of paddling with a few seconds.
