Offshore powerboat racing is back again in Lake Hopatcong!
Lake Hopatcong Hosts the 2025 OPA Offshore Powerboat Race September 19 - 21, 2025
Offshore powerboat racing is back again in Lake Hopatcong. This time, Sunday's races will be in the main lake while Saturday's will still be at LFYC. We are expecting even more race boats this year. All race teams will be competing in this Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) event on Saturday and Sunday.. The wet/dry pits (A.K.A. Race Village) will be at the Lake Forest Yacht Club.
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 you 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.
