Friday, August 3 – Sunday, August 5, 2018
Held annually in August, the Governor’s Cup Yacht Race is the oldest and longest overnight race on the Chesapeake Bay. This year marks the 45th running of the race from Maryland’s current capital city in Annapolis to its first capital city in St. Mary’s City. Simultaneously, Potomac Leg sailors start at Dahlgren and Southern Leg sailors start at Fishing Bay to sail to St. Mary’s City.
At the finish line, race participants are greeted to shore by College alumni and other members of the campus community for a weekend-long celebration including a Waterfront Crab Feast & Barbecue, Governor’s Cup Awards Ceremony, and live music.
