Race Course

The race course through the scenic Elk River estuary changes every year. The map shown is only a rough approximation. This year’s not-so-high tide will keep us out of the weeds, perhaps. But there will be turns and lots of fun!.

Start and finish will be at Brady’s Oysters.

Course Record

Because of frequent course changes over the years, there is no course record to compare year to year.

Entry Fees

$15 per person / $10 if pre-registered

Post Race

Grilled oysters and perhaps some other seafood after the race. If possible, awards will be given in person after the race. Ribbons awarded for 1st-3rd by category.
