What each participant receives: 

  • Equipment for the race (board/kayak, PFD, paddle)

  • Exclusive Loop the Lake Race T-shirt

  • Race bib

  • Swag bag

  • Potential to win Great Prizes

If you want to participate in more than one race (i.e. SUP and kayak), you must register for both races. You may bring your own recreational SUP or kayak; please acknowledge you’ll be doing so on the registration page. SUP and kayak races are one person per craft. The Megalodon race can have 4-6 people. 

Heats will be assigned prior to the day-of and we’ll let you know what time you’ll be racing. All participants must sign a waiver. 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

  • Money — our vendors will take cash ($20 bills or lower, please) or cards. You can also hit the Lake Lorraine shops before, during or after the races!

  • Lawn chairs and blankets — there’s some seating around the lake but the grass along the lake shore is also perfect if you want to sit along the lake on the grass.

  • Bug spray and sunscreen — always good to have outside!

WILL THERE BE FOOD?

Food trucks and vendors will be onsite (details announced soon!). You can also swing by restaurants at Lake Lorraine and eat before the shows or get food to go and bring it with. See our restaurant options here.

WHAT ABOUT RESTROOMS?

We have a porta potty onsite if you need to use the restroom.

CAN I BRING CHAIRS OR A BLANKET TO WATCH THE RACES?

Absolutely! Take advantage of the grassy areas along the lakeside and watch the races and listen to music.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

Follow our social media to see any announcements of a cancellation or postponement.
