The 8th Annual Mackinac to Manitoulin Race started in Mackinac Island on Thursday, July 21. The first leg of the MacMan Challenge takes racers to Gore Bay.
There is an overnight layover in Gore Bay, with dinner and awards for the first leg. The final short leg of the race to Little Current will take place on July 23.
