87 miles. Some of the fastest outboards in the country. This is racing at its best.

Take a look at some of the action from this year's Top O' Michigan Marathon, boats tearing through the water, tight turns, and racers giving it everything they've got. This is why we do it every year.

78 years strong.

This year's Top O' Michigan Marathon brought incredible racing, an amazing crowd, and a community that shows up for this event year after year. From the pits to the finish line, it was one for the books.

We're already counting down to next year. Thank you to everyone who made the 78th annual marathon one to remember.

Head-to-head racing, real competition, and a weekend Isabella Hearn won't forget.

She came away from this year's marathon with a memorable race and some hard-earned experience on the water. Going toe-to-toe with another competitor is what makes this sport what it is, tough, fun, and worth every second.

Great weekend, Isabella. Can't wait to see what's next.

Smooth stretches, tight turns, and a young racer who handled it all like he's been doing this for years.

We caught up with Carson Fierek after his run this weekend. Navigating a technical course isn't easy at any age, and he came away with some serious racing experience and a competition he clearly enjoyed.

This is exactly the kind of talent that keeps this sport alive. Great job, Carson.

Mullett Lake was rough this year, and Chase Fairbairn handled it like a pro.

Choppy water, tough conditions, and a strong finish that ended with a trophy in hand. There's something special about racing this close to home, putting together a great run, and getting to celebrate it right here in your own backyard.

Congratulations, Chase, and we hope to see you back out there next year doing it all again.

Afternoon club members!

We had a scheduling confusion moment and the Top O' recap meeting that was scheduled for this evening is now August 26th at Ryde Marine! 6 pm, bring a dish to pass, and TOMORC handles the meat and drinks.

We'd love for all members to attend as this meeting is where we go over wins, areas that we need to improve, and submit all of our ideas for 2027.

An email will be going out shortly to notify of this change as well.

Good weather, tight racing, and a strong weekend on the water. We caught up with Dustin after he placed in both races this year.

He'll be the first to tell you the conditions were about as good as it gets, but the competition still made him work for it. Close racing, boats running side by side, and a result he's clearly proud of.

Congratulations, Dustin, on a great weekend of racing.

We sat down with Chase after the dust settled on another Top O' Michigan Marathon.

From the first boats hitting the water to the final laps, it was a weekend to remember. Hear his take on how it all came together, what the atmosphere on the river was like, and what he's taking away from this one. Spoiler: we'd all be happy to do it again.

Thank you to everyone who made this year's event what it was. Here's to 2027.

Take another look at what made this year’s Top O’ Michigan Marathon one for the books.

Two days, 87 miles, and some of the fastest outboards in the country tearing up the Inland Waterway. From the start line energy to the final laps, this is what it’s all about. Thank you to everyone who came out, raced, and cheered us on.
