The event will be hosted and headquartered at The Steamboat Landing Restaurant and Bar, 76 Shore Road, Glen Cove, New York, which is in Hempstead Harbor on the North Shore of Long island. We will use the same format as our past runs, which is a Friday evening party, a Saturday noon-time run, and a Saturday afternoon Awards' Party.

The course will be 75 miles in length, transversing Long Island Sound. Upon returning to Hempstead Harbor, a designated boat will have radar guns on it to determine speeds of all crafts that wake a pass by it.
