The Great Race is a fun-filled, water race event and family cookout on Children's Island sponsored by the Marblehead Rotary Club. Any non-motorized water vehicle is eligible. The race will begin (for all vessels EXCEPT sailboats) at Riverhead Beach in Marblehead, and follow a marked course to Children's Island. Sailboats will start at the mouth of the harbor. The start at Riverhead Beach will begin promptly at 10 AM for all EXCEPT sailboats, so partisans should be ready well ahead of the start time.

Eligible Water Vessels: You may kayak, sail, canoe, row or windsurf. We also have an "Other" category, which you may enter, at your own risk, as long as your means of water transportation is non-motorized. Each category will be given their own start time, so you will be competing within your own category, PLUS overall best time. There will be winners for each category (in Youth and Adult) AND a grand prize for the fastest overall time, regardless of category. Transportation, WITH your vessel, will be available from the island if you choose not paddle/sail/row your vessel back.
