HRYRA Hudson River Race Regatta (distance)
The Hudson River Race was first run in 2010. Since its inception and subsequent inclusion in the Hudson River Yacht Racing Association series, the race has become a fall classic. Taking place on the Tappan Zee and Haverstraw Bay the race features courses, up to 18 nautical miles, with challenging wind and current conditions.
The 2026 edition will be a pursuit race. Boats will set out in a staggered start based on their PHRF Time on Distance handicap. In this format the first boat to cross the line in each division will be the winner with no further time correction applied.
