The 333-mile journey from the Chicago Yacht Club to the shores of Mackinac Island, Michigan, known as the Race to Mackinac or “The Mac,” is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world. This year marked the 106th anniversary of the race. Approximately 2,500 competitors in 318 boats participated.
