Stock outboard Marathon in WI who will come?????

[53-W]

I have been trying to get a real marathon going in WI for last couple of years, ran into lots of red tape that really make one lose interest in doing it.

Got some good news!!!! Are local race at ~~KOSHKONONG, WI Sept, 20+21 wants to add marathon racing!!!!
The main sponcer wants a real marathon race of 45-50 miles of lake and river mix, hopefully 2 days worth!!!! TOP-O STYLE!!!
I am going to go look at what he wants to run this weekend with a few other of BSOA members to see if we can pull this off!!!

NEED TO KNOW WHO WILL COME FROM MI AND OUT OF STATE TO RUN THIS AND WHAT CLASS!!!!!!!

THIS WILL BE A ONE TIME SHOT !!!! IF NOW ONE SHOWS UP THEY WILL NOT ASK US BACK!!!

thanks for you input

This sounds very interesting....Im sure we could round up a few Top O boys that would make the trip...keep me posted on the progress!!

Mark me down as 75% sure I will be there with a DSR. I'm eager to learn more about this marathon and the race site itself. Thanks for your efforts, and keep me posted.

[Hal 212M]

I would come from MI (CSR or 25SSR)

[jgiggs66M]

I would come from MI (25ssr or CSR) as apart of the Top O group.

I couldn't find a sanction for this race on the APBA site. Any update for the marathon?

The race is on but we will not be having a marathon this year. We tried to make it happen but the DNR would not approve the marathon this year. We still hope to make a marathon part of this race in the future.

That is a shame it could not happen this year, but I will come when it happens. This sport could benefit from more marathons I think. Marathons help solve the " why should I drive 'x' amount of miles for five minutes in my boat" sort of problem. Good luck with permits and other obstacles but please stay with it, and you will draw racers from TopO. I just know it. If one obstacle is boats, I have drawings for all classes now. Will share to get more boats on the 'rough' water. Keep up the good work and don't be afraid to contact TOMORC for support if needed. We have been running a pretty good race for quite some time now. Happy Labor Day, Fellow Americans! Mark Kurz

We WHERE NOT able to secure a marathon. This year the DNR did say no to are request for water to be shut down this year, but wants to know more about it for a future race there. so we will try for next year 2015.

Hey Darrel,

Is there any chance for the lake/river marathon in 2015?
