The Race to Mackinac returns after being canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"People are looking forward to being out on the water... to have that experience with their crew," said Martin Sandoval, chairman of the Chicago Race to Mackinac.
What started in 1898 with just five boats has grown to several hundred. The 112th edition of the race brings together 240 boats and 2,100 sailors from around the world to compete in the 333-mile course up Lake Michigan. The event is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world.
