Offshore powerboat racing is coming back to Lake Hopatcong!
Lake Hopatcong Hosts the 2024 OPA Offshore Powerboat Race September 20 - 22, 2024
Offshore powerboat racing is back again in Lake Hopatcong. This time, hosts the 2024 OPA Races. They are expecting 40+ boats. All of them will be competing in this Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) event in 5 races, which runs out of the prestigious Lake Forest Yacht Club (LFYC), otherwise known as Race Village.
Many race teams will kick off the event on Friday with a ceremonial Parade Lap & Fun Run, which starts and ends at LFYC. The Fun Run will have several stops at local restaurants along the lake, where the public is encouraged to join in on, or they can simply drop in at any of the venues. At the conclusion of the Fun Run, there will be live music into the night at LFYC where you will get to meet the racing teams in person.
