Win Tickets to Yakima Sprint Boat Weekend

One of the wildest motorsports on the planet will be making waves and noise at the State Fair Park in Yakima! Sprint Boat Racing is coming August 16 & 17, 2025.

What Is Sprint Boat Racing?

So what is sprint boat racing? Imagine a narrow, three-foot-deep water channel, just 20 feet wide, twisting and turning through a maze — now picture a 1,000-horsepower jet boat flying through it at up to 80 mph. That’s sprint boat racing. Each boat is piloted by a driver and a navigator, working together to through the course!
