The popular Dragonboat Beaufort races return in June.

The organization, which raises money to support those affected by cancer in Beaufort County, will host an information session from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Beaufort Digital Corridor, 500 Carteret St. Dragonboat representatives will be available to walk participants through the online registering process.
