Don Aronow Around Long Island Marathon 2011

HORBA is starting to get some early interest for the 2011 marathon races this year.

DON ARONOW MEMORIAL AROUND LONG ISLAND MARATHON at 271 miles.

Below is the info right from the NPBA website. HORBA is once again putting the race on with Billy Frenz's NPBA organization.

MARATHON INFORMATION

Saturday, September 24 is the date set for the second annual Don Aronow Memorial Around Long Island Marathon, a 271 mile course starting at Buoy #27 on Long Island Sound. Headquarters is the Manhasset Bay Marina and LaMottas Restaurant in Port Washington, NY.

We will travel North-East from Buoy #27 to the twin forks of eastern Long Island, past Orient Point, around Montauk Point, into the Atlantic Ocean, past Brooklyn, through New York Harbor, keeping Governors Island and Manhattan to port, up the East River and then run back into Long Island Sound to the finish, Buoy #27. We will then return to LaMottas Restaurant for the Award Celebration.
The classes are listed on our website at National Powerboat Marathon Boat Class List.

We are looking forward to somebody breaking the non race, Stu Hayim 32 Skater Cat record, of 3 hours and 6 minutes.

The 2010 winners were Joe DeFusco, Jon Tobin and Charlie McCarthy in DeFusco's 31 Sonic with small-blocks at 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Thinkfast Films has interested ESPN in providing television coverage, so do not be surprised to see them on-board at his years event. Our Kattack satellite tracking devices will provide live position and speed updates on the internet.

Heard from the owner of the old 38 Scarab...MICHELOB LIGHT. He has added additional fuel capacity and is having the engines detuned for the 271 mile run. He also is putting on the old livery.

Hope to have more people committed in the near future.

Have a 41 foot Apache that couldn't make the date last year coming for sure this year.
