Lakeside Race - A classic returns! New for 2024 is the reinstitution of the Lakeside Race. This race was a club tradition for many years sponsored by Bunny White DeValk. The Lakeside will be held on August 10th and will be a two-legged race from a start line near the harbor to a mark in the vicinity of Lakeside Beach and return.
The Ketchup Race - August 31st - The Labor Day weekend classic is always a season highlight. It’s been more than 45 years since Paul Drushler came up with what is arguably the first pursuit race on the Great Lakes! Race the race and/or join us for the post-race Bloody Mary party hosted by John and Steve Pulver and Wally Kowalik.
Race Commitee - Don't want to race but want to join the fun out on the water?? Join the RC!
