Racing Bundles

For each class, we offer a racing bundle for competitors. The bundle is a savings from ordering everything separately. Bundles include one each of racing, bonfire meal, pizza lunch, seafood boil, souvenir bottomless pint. Your family members can add onto your bundle a la carte for an other meals, activities, etc. Double handed boats register separately and we will ask your partner’s name on the longform registration which comes after you purchase your tickets. Entrants are not required to buy a bundle or participate in all the extra fun.

Communication

During the event and in the days leading up to the event, you will be asked to register for our event team-text. Please accept and opt-in for those text messages, as that will be the official channel of communication for any last minute or racing related schedule changes or updates.
