Sheboygan will host a Powerboat P1 race that is part of the Triple Crown series for the third year in August.
Powerboat P1 recently announced its P1 Offshore race calendar for the 2024 season, including the race Aug. 8-10.
Sheboygan Area Tourism Zone estimates the annual economic impact of the race $4.7 million with more than 40,000 attending the three-day festival.
Sheboygan Mayor Ryan Sorenson said, “I am thrilled to welcome back this exhilarating event to the Malibu of the Midwest. It not only showcases our City’s stunning waterfront but also brings together the community in celebration of speed, skill and the thrill of competition. This sense of excitement and unity contributes to the vibrancy of Sheboygan.” City Administrator Casey Bradley added: “This event not only brings a surge of energy to our City but also underscores our commitment to hosting world class events. We appreciate the partnership with Powerboat P1 and Mercury Racing, and we eagerly anticipate the positive impact the race event will have on our local economy and community spirit.”
All three rounds will be broadcast live on MAVTV, streamed on P1’s live-streaming platform, as well as on FanDuel Sports Network and international sports channels.
In addition to the races, the P1 Marine Foundation will contribute proceeds from the Triple Crown to support local non-profits focused on marine conservation, water safety, and youth educational programs.
