Spectator Information
To watch the race there are two good vantage points that have public access.
1) The start/finish and lower turn buoy can be seen from the Free Spirit Tours location at Schoonertown Parkette.
2) The upper turn buoy can be seen from the top of a large sand bank called the oxbow. Park at the water treatment plant at 10 Woodland Drive and walk in a short way to see the action on the river.
