Race Description: Limited to the first 250 registrants, swimmers will experience the unique opportunity to board Mid-Lakes Navigation's Judge Ben Wiles*, be transported to Country Club Point (one mile from the village ramp) and offered the chance to “Escape from the Judge.” Swimmers will jump from The Judge and swim to shore following a marked, guarded and patrolled course down the western side of the lake to the seawall ramp on the west side of the Village pier. After exiting the water, they will be encouraged to participate in other scheduled Labor Day Weekend activities offered in the Village. Swimmers will compete in either the wetsuit or no wetsuit category.

*The onboard seating capacity of the Judge Ben Wiles is limited to 100. The first 50 registrants will be guaranteed a seat on the Judge. The remaining 50 seats will be raffled off, and the winners notified prior to packet pick-up. After the ship’s capacity has been reached, we will provide alternative transportation methods to get all registered swimmers to the starting point in the lake.
