Thanks to the Active Club, we’ve added additional buoys for course marking and more safety cut gear.

We now have seven complete sets of protective equipment available for racers, all provided to the kids at no cost. Each set includes cut resistant shirt and pants, a life jacket with full torso flak protection and a protective collar, and a Snell-approved helmet.
