Your event offers all the items I look for; well run, good distance(s), and opportunity to practice lake conditions prior to the 90-miler.

Update  July 19, 2023

The Race is ON!

Floods can't stop us.  Roads are open from all three directions (note: NY-28N between Newcomb and Long Lake remains closed).

The lake water level has dropped from 23 inches over mid-summer normal last Tuesday to 6 inches high today and will continue to slowly decline until race day.

Another fantastic BluMouLA-BuFuRa is on the way!

REMINDER---

MANDTORY BOAT INSPECTION for aquatic invasive species- all boats must be inspected prior to launching.  A sticker will be placed on the left stern of boats that pass.   Boats launched without a sticker will be ineligible to race.   

Boats should arrive clean, drained, and dry.   If you want to be sure, stop at a boat washing station on the way.  Boats that fail inspection and need cleaning can be taken to the Lake Durant boat wash two miles away.   The only exception is boats resident on the Eckford Chain (Blue, Eagle, and Utowana Lakes) and which arrive by water.

The Prettiest Darn Race in America!
