What's This Event All About?
The Lake Rescue Shootout started in 1988 as an event in which many local boats participated simply to establish who had the fastest boat. As the years went by it became a bigger and bigger event that also helped supplement the Lake Area Fire Departments water rescue efforts.
The Shootout, now known as the largest unsanctioned boat race in the US - named one of the nation’s eight “must-see” boating events according to Powerboat Magazine, will take place for the ninth year at Captain Ron’s Bar & Grill in Sunrise Beach (Lake Road 5-50, mile marker 34.5). The event raises funds for eight Lake-area rescue teams and numerous other charitable organizations. Last year, this event raised $195,000.00 which benefitted 34 different Charities and Fire Departments.
