With apologies to those who are ready, sales the Organizing Authority, Islander Water Sports, has postponed the Reef Run to May 21 – 22.This date falls during the same time frame that the Tybee 500 was scheduled and should be better for teams that were planning on racing the Tybee 500. Hotels will also have more availability. The Islander resort will provide a $99 rate for standard rooms and  Boatman’s Hotel In Marathon also will be more open.

The new Sailing Instructions will be posted soon.Thanks for understanding, come race in the great waters of Hawk Channel to Key West.
