Last year’s event drew huge crowds of race fans & enthusiasts alike to Clearwater Beach, where over 50,000 people on over 2,500 boats lined the beaches of the 2.5-mile-long race course. While many beach-going spectators enjoyed the races from Clearwater Beaches powder white sugar sand, others took advantage of the VIP watch parties from the comfort of sponsor hotels, restaurants and condos throughout the island. During last year’s event, more than 180,000 thrill seekers, sponsors, and local businesses reveled over this action-packed weekend!
