In 2027, the Marion Bermuda Race celebrates its 50th Anniversary, marking five decades of Corinthian spirit, camaraderie, and bluewater adventure.

Since its inaugural start in 1977, this 645-nautical mile race from Marion, MA to Bermuda has become known as "every sailor's ocean race," welcoming generations of skippers, crews, families, and first-time offshore racers alike.

As we look ahead to June 18, 2027, early registration is already under way, with the next phase opening July 1, 2026. Whether you're firmly planning your campaign or simply considering the race, now is the time to get on the radar and start mapping out your path to Bermuda.

The 50th edition of the Marion Bermuda Race promises to be something special. From expanded awards and recognition to shoreside celebrations at Beverly Yacht Club and the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club, the anniversary race will honor the past while setting the stage for the next era of offshore racing. Expect all the traditions you love, like the legendary Goslings Rum Party, alongside modern race support, including ORR F-TCF scoring, YB tracking, weather briefings, and offshore medical resources.

Whether you've raced before or are planning your first crossing, 2027 is your invitation to be part of something bigger.

Pre-Registration is Open Now
