Gathering more than 300 athletes from 8 racing teams of communes and wards in the area, the teams competed in 9 routes in the tournament, including: 1 Cung route, 1 Pha route, and 7 Tien routes.
“In addition to the meaning of praying for favorable weather, bountiful crops, and peaceful homeland, the return of the spring boat race on Vuc River has an important meaning in restoring, preserving and promoting local traditional sports and cultural festivals; thereby, tightening the spirit of solidarity and emulation in the movement of physical training and productive labouring, contributing to building Huong Thuy increasingly rich and beautiful,”, said Ms. Ngo Thi Ai Huong - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Huong Thuy town.
Through a lively and thrilling competition, as a result, Thuy Luong Ward excellently won the Triple Win with the reward of a pig.
