MORE DETAILS

Walk-up registration will be accepted if space allows. Check-in for all races begins at 1 p.m. You must be checked in and ready to go a minimum of 15 minutes prior to your race time. All races will be timed, with the top finishers winning prizes.

LOCATION

The Loop the Lake Race event will take place along the southwest side of Lake Lorraine, near Flow and Paddle.

IF YOU’RE RACING…

Each participant receives: 

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

  • 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.

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


WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

  • Money — our food vendors will take cash or cards. You can also hit the Lake Lorraine shops before, during or after the races! You can pay for race registration onsite using a card.

  • 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. There’s also a retaining wall with a perfect view of the finish line!

  • 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.


WHAT IF IT RAINS?
